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 Trouble’s just a bubble And the clouds will soon roll by So let’s have another cup of coffee Let’s have another piece of pie
Let a smile be your umbrella For it’s just an April shower Go and see a fortune teller And he’ll predict a silver lining
Soon we’ll turn the corner With our banners flying high So let’s have another cup of coffee And let’s have another piece of pie...!
What’s the cheerin‘ all about, Why do all the people shout? He’s the one we’re waitin‘ for Our goodwill ambassador, Our goodwill ambassador...:
EC: (In Spanish) Entre las estrellas, come, come over*, ven Raquel Pues vamos a beber un cafecito y comemos** un pedazo de pastel (Que lindo!) Vamos de paseo, cuando venga Don Miguel Pues vamos a beber un cafecito Oh, let’s have another piece of pie...!
<Translation> Between the stars, come, come over, come Raquel So, let’s have a little cup of coffee and let's eat a piece of pie (How cute!) Let’s go for a walk when Don Miguel comes So, let’s have a little cup of coffee Oh, let’s have another piece of pie...!
Hip-hip-hooray, hooray, hooray Hip-hip-hooray, hooray, hooray Soon we’ll turn the corner With our banners flying high So let’s have another cup of coffee And let’s have another piece of pie...!
(*: Yes, he speaks Spanish and English in one line, in case you wondered! ** "That word 'comemos'... well, in 'perfect' Spanish it must be 'comernos' but I think the Spanish pronunciation of Ernie Caceres wasn't very accurate..." - Spanish transcription, translation and notes by Alberto Cevallos from Ecuador - whose invitation to a little cup of coffee is yet to be followed by yours truly... ;-) Alberto, I sincerely hope we will indeed have coffee together one day!)
