"The Coffee Song" by Frank Sinatra has long been one of my favorites:

Way down among braziliansCoffee beans grow by the billionsSo they’ve got to find those extra cups to fillThey’ve got an awful lot of coffee in brazilYou can’t get cherry soda’cause they’ve got to fill that quotaAnd the way things are I’ll bet they never willThey’ve got a zillion tons of coffee in brazilNo tea or tomato juiceYou’ll see no potato juiceThe planters down in santos all say no no noThe politician’s daughterWas accused of drinking waterAnd was fined a great big fifty dollar billThey’ve got an awful lot of coffee in brazilYou date a girl and find out laterShe smells just like a percolatorHer perfume was made right on the grillWhy they could percolate the ocean in brazilAnd when their ham and eggs need savorCoffee ketchup gives ’em flavorCoffee pickles way outsell the dillWhy they put coffee in the coffee in brazilSo your lead to the local colorServing coffee with a crullerDunking doesn’t take a lot of skillThey’ve got an awful lot of coffee in brazil

"Let's Have Another Cup O' Coffee," by Irving Berlin, written in 1932 for the Broadway show "Face The Music." One of the popular spit-in-the-eye-of-the-Depression songs, recorded by many popular bands of the day, including Fred Waring, Enrique Madriguera, Phil Spitalny, and others. The song outlasted the Depression to be revived in the forties by Glenn Miller and others, and for a while was the theme song of the Maxwell House Coffee Time radio program.

"A Cup Of Coffee, A Sandwich, and You," by Joseph Meyer, Billy Rose, and Al Dubin, written in 1925 for the Broadway revue "Charlot," and introduced by the great English stage stars Jack Buchanan and Gertrude Lawrence. Popular recordings by Buchanan and Lawrence, Roger Wolfe Kahn and his Orchestra, Nick Lucas, and others. This one lived on for many years as a favorite quote for Warner Brothers cartoon soundtracks -- whenever any character sat down to dine, this would be the tune heard in the background.

"Won't You Stay To Tea?" by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel, written in 1932 popularized by Al Bowlly, Jane Froman, and others, and then vanished forever into pop-tune oblivion.
