Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee" is a song by Irving Berlin appearing in the musical comedy Face the Music, which opened in 1932. On opening night it was sung by J. Harold Murray and Katherine Carrington.[1] The song, set in a self-service restaurant modeled on the Horn & Hardart Automat, is sung in the play by a group of once-wealthy citizens who were awaiting better times, as mirrored in the song's opening lyrics:

Just around the corner,
there's a rainbow in the sky,
So let's have another cup of coffee,
and let's have another piece of pie.

The hit version was released in 1932 on the RCA Victor label (Victor 22936) by Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians with vocals by Chick Bullock with the Three Waring Girls.[2]
