I'm called Little Buttercup
dear Little Buttercup
though I could never
tell why
But still I'm called
Buttercup
poor Little Buttercup
sweet Little Buttercup I!
I've snuff and tobaccy
and excellent jacky
I've scissors and
watches and knives
I've ribbons and laces
to set off the faces
of pretty young
sweethearts and wives
I've treacle and toffee
I've tea and I've coffee
soft tommy and
succulent chops
I've chickens and conies
and pretty polonies
and excellent
peppermint drops
Then buy of your
Buttercup
dear Little Buttercup
sailors should
never be shy
So buy of your Buttercup
poor Little Buttercup
come of your
Buttercup buy!
