Lyrics Way down among Brazilians Coffee beans grow by the billions So they&got to find those extra cups to fill They&got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil You can&get cherry soda Cause they&got to fill that quota And the way things are I&bet they never will They&got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil No tea or tomato juice You&see no potato juice Cos the planters down in Santos all say no no no The politician&daughter Was accused of drinking water And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill They&got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil You date a girl and find out later She smells just like a percolator Her perfume was made right on the grill Why they could percolate the ocean in Brazil And when their ham and eggs need savor Coffee ketchup gives &flavor Coffee pickles way outsell the dill Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil No tea or tomato juice You&see no potato juice The planters down in Santos all say no no no So your lead to the local color Serving coffee with a cruller Dunking doesn&take a lot of skill They&got an awful lot of coffee An awful lot of coffee Man, they got a gang of coffee in Brazil
