"Let's Have Another Cup of Coffee" is a song by #IrvingBerlin appearing in the #musicalComedy #FaceTheMusic, which opened in 1932. On opening night it was sung by #JHaroldMurray and Katherine Carrington. The song, set in a self-service restaurant modeled on the #HornAndHardart #Automat, 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.
