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!

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.

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.
