What for? Is this for dancing/DJ'ing? Lindy? "Blues"? Something else? A performance? Social dancing? (If the only qualification is "it has coffee in the title", then why not simply go to allmusic.com?)

Also, here's another plea for people to do more than throw out song titles. Please try to give artists and either recording year or albums. Even better, tell us why you mention a song--is it awesome for jams? For a slow drag at an exchange late-night? To clear the floor at the end of a dance...?

Anyway, this one came to mind just now. Maybe it's the kind of thing you're looking for:
"Coffee in the Morning, Kisses in the Night", Adrian Rollini, 1933 is a nice easy swinging medium tempo track, though it was a sweet vocal which is likely to turn off lindy hoppers at a social dance.

I don't know the version that Eyeball has, but there's a fun version by Jeff Healey on his "Among Friends" album. Great for charleston.

Mine is a soundtrack from the 1946 film MARGIE which is set back in the late 20s. It is sung by Barbara Lawrence as Conrad Janis plays the uke. Very fun film!
