Act I: I'm called Little Buttercup

Act I: I'm called Little Buttercup - Fiona Kimm/Czech Symphony Orchestra/John Landor

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
