For 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!
