Irving Berlin’s Depression-era hit “[Let’s Have Another Cup of Coffee](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZDLcvPBHnU)”:

"Let a smile be your umbrella  
For it’s just an April shower  
Even John D. Rockefella’  
Is looking for the silver lining.

Mr. Herbert Hoover says now’s the time to buy,  
So let’s have another cup of coffee  
And let’s have another piece of pie"
