2:52
single, 1955
Written by Basil Adams & Nita Corelli
The narrator is hitting the road, has some "troubles to lose." But he'll be back! He loves that coffee, and the pot it's in. If this is an extended double entendre for something or a sexual metaphor, it's too subtle to make much of a difference. It's a fairly stately number; Crothers' vocal is cheery and winking, but almost conversational. In fact, the only time the song shakes itself awake is when the male chorus sings the second bridge. That's my favorite part of the song.
