Way down among Brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So they've got to find those extra cups to fill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

You can't get cherry soda
'Cause they've got to fill that quota
And the way things are I'll bet they never will
They've got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil

No tea or tomato juice
You'll see no potato juice
The planters down in Santos all say no no no

The politician's daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
They've 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 'em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in Brazil

So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesn't take a lot of skill
They've got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil

Does anyone remember the Frank Sinatra email website...it would "translate" your emails into Frank-speak. If you wrote something like: Dear Jane: Are you free for lunch today? Then it would translate it like: Hey Kitten! Are you free to pitch some woo today? Loved It!

I should get spanked for this but it seems like Sinatra's career consisted of just one really long song.

I don't remember Steve Martin reading the phone book, but Andy Kauffman read The Great Gatsby at one of his shows.

I used to dislike Sinatra (mainly because he was my parents' generation's big star). Then I read an article about how good he is(1), and why. Then I started to listen to him, and then I began to appreciate what a terrific singer he is, and what terrific bands/arrangements are behind him. So now I like him. (1) (uh, Yeah, I know he's dead.)
