The coffee song

Way down among the 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 sell their quota,
And the way things are I guess they never will,
They´ve got a zillion tons of coffee in Brazil,
No tea or tomato juice,
You´ll see no potato juice,
´Cause the planters down in Santos all say No! No! No!
A politician´s daughter,
Was accused of drinking water,
And was fineda great big fifty dollar bill,
They´ve got an awful lot of coffee in Brazil.
