Hi squid:

My sheet music copy of "Java jive" has the following note:

When Milton Drake was writing lyrics for a movie that starred Mae West and W C Fields [My little Chickadee, 1940], the latter would often offer the former a drink, which she'd decline with "I love coffee, I love tea". Later, at a party, Miss West asked Drake and composer Ben Oakland to write a song starting with her phrase. In an hour they completed "Java jive", then sent a copy to Fields, who immediately substituted his own lyrics, "I love whiskey, I love gin. I'm pretty healthy for the state I'm in." But it was the West-inspired version that became a hit in 1940 for The Ink Spots and almost four decades later for the singing group Manhattan Transfer.

… and just over six decades later for ???
