A Música do Dia - Frank Sinatra - The Coffee Song

Frank Sinatra fez homenagens às divas com quem viveu, como Ava Gardner, Mia Farrow, e a socialite Barbara Marx; cantou para cidades como Nova Iorque, mas também teve seus momentos de Brazil.

Em 1946, “A Voz”, como tornou-se mais tarde conhecido, recebeu das mãos do produtor Bob Hilliard a letra de The Coffee Song.

Um poema que fala do perfume, dos negócios, da plantação, do amor e das delicias do café. Espero que você goste da música, de Frank Sinatra e de café.

The Coffee Song

Bob Hilliard & Dick Miles

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
