"Coffee Time"

I just heard a song that I absolutely love. It is titled Coffee Time.It is a jazz song that has a great rhyme to it. Natalie Cole sings this song. It is originally from the movie "Yolanda and the Thief " from the year 1945. Then, it was featured in the film "The Subterraneans" in the year 1960 in which Carmen McRae sang a couple new verses. I love it because it speaks about drinking coffee with dreamy friends, having a cup of coffee with silly rhyme, and celebrating the old-fashioned drink. To top it off Natalie Cole had such an amazing voice while singing this song.

 

Coffee time
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee

Java time
My happy chum
Let's have a time
We'll celebrate
For just a dime
And have
A cup of coffeeGreetin' time
The music box
Is beatin' time
It's good
Old-fashioned
Meetin' time
We're in the pink
So come and clink
And let's drink
A cup of coffee

Coffee time
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee

Coffee time
My dreamy friend
It's coffee time
Let's sing
This silly
Little rhyme
And have
A cup of coffee
And have
A cup of coffee
And have
A cup of coffee

Here are the extra verses that Carmen McRae sings in 1960. (courtesy of lyricsplayground.com):

Let me show a little coffee house I know
Where all the new Bohemians go
To have a cup of coffee

Greetin' time, the music box is beatin' time
It's good old-fashioned meetin' time
So grab a chair and dig me there
For that's just the place that I'm at

Enjoy your coffee for all it's worth! Just don't forget the rich heritage of it....
