"Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee" is a song byIrving Berlin appearing in themusical comedyFace the Music, which opened in 1932. On opening night it was sung byJ. Harold Murray and Katherine Carrington.[1] The song, set in a self-service restaurant modeled on theHorn & HardartAutomat, 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.
