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 o' pie!

Trouble's just a bubble,
And the clouds will soon roll by'
So let's have another cup of coffee
And let's have another piece o' pie!

Let a smile be your umbrella,
For it's just an April show'r.
Even John D. Rockefeller
Is looking for a silver lining.

Mister Herbert Hoover 
says that now's the time to buy.
So let's have another cup of coffee
And let's have another piece o' pie!
