"I'd Like To Dunk You In My Coffee" is a strange one- if those are double entendres they're very obscure or perhaps refer to forbidden practices that died out in the late '30's.
I often wonder what sort of a mindset produced some of the more bizarre songs I find. This lyricist truly raked through the swamp of his own subconscious--and I have to appreciate that something so strange got published and recorded!
Tin Pan Alley certainly had a lot of odd titles, puns as well as the frequent double entendre. The way these guys cranked out the tunes, it's amazing that plagiarism lawsuits didn't abound. This title made me first think of You're the Cream in My Coffee.
Drizz, if you read this drop me a line at my place.
