A friend of mine wants to create a customized Tarot Deck. The 56 card four Minor Arcana suits are going to be cocoa, tea, wine and coffee. The card itself will have a recipe for a food item using the respective group, plus a song lyric featuring the item.
The 22 Major Arcana will have songs whose titles mention the items, plus recipes that feature a drink made with the item.
As you can probably tell, that’s a big order–not the recipes, but the songs. I told him I could get the songs and print out a nice list. So I’m asking for your Dopers’ help.
THANKS!

You’re So Vain - for the line “clouds in my coffee”
Bottle of Wine - Fireballs
“Bottle of wine, fruit of the vine, when ya gonna let me get sober?”
On The Road Again - Country Joe McDonald
“I like coffee and I like tea. I like the love that you bring to me.”
“The Java Jive” (“I love coffee, I love tea . . .”)
Tea: *Have a Cuppa Tea * by The Kinks
Led Zeppelin’s “Going To California”.
Spent my days with a woman unkind,
smoke my stuff and drank all my wine…
“A Cup of Coffee, a Sandwich, and You”
“Red, Red Wine”
Being a huge Tom Paxton fan, these were the first three words out of my mouth. He wrote the song. It’s going to be used for #16 –The Fallen Tower.
I also mentioned Paul Simon’s “Dangling Conversation” (and we sit and drink our coffee).
Keep 'em coming folks.

The Police, “Tea in the Sahara”
I’m sitting in the corner feeling glad
Got no money coming in, but I can’t be sad:
That was the best cup of coffee I ever had.
(Jethro Tull, “Inside”)
I strolled into a deserted seaside cafe
All on a winter’s day
I ordered up a cup of rich brown steaming tea
From an old lady
(Donovan, “Teas”)

“T.U.S.A.” by Masters of Reality. This song is all about how people in the US don’t know how to make tea.
“Flying Teapot” by Gong.
“Golf Girl” by Caravan. (“Standing on a golf course, dressed in P.V.C., I chanced upon a golf girl, selling cups of tea…”)
“Gimme That Wine” by Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.
“One More Cup of Coffee” by Bob Dylan.
Mama Told Me Not to Come – “Want some whiskey in your water, sugar in your tea”
Well, wine is NOT going to be a problem. Coffee and tea are pretty well represented too.
I guess people don’t write very many songs about cocoa.
