Proper Cup of Coffee |
| A Sultan sat on his oriental mat |
| In his harem, High Street, Persia (Persia) |
| He took a sip of coffee, just a drip |
| And he said to his servant, Kersia (Kersia) |
| «Oh, curse ya, curse ya, Kersia! |
| (Damn!) |
| It’s the awfullest coffee in Persia!» |
| «Oh, what I want is a proper cuppa coffee |
| Made from a proper copper coffee pot |
| I might be off my dot |
| But I want a proper cuppa coffee from a proper copper pot |
| Iron coffee pots (and tin coffee pots) |
| They’re no good to me |
| If I can’t have a proper cuppa coffee from a proper copper coffee pot, |
| I’ll throw you in the sea!» |
| (In ol' Baghdad, in ol' Baghdad, in ol' Baghdad) |
| «In ol' Baghdad, in ol' Baghdad |
| Very often I have had |
| Cups of coffee by the dozen (Twelve!) |
| And you all should |
| Make my coffee just as good |
| And without this blasted cussin'!» |
| (Rats!) |
| «Oh, curse ya, curse ya, Kersia! |
| It’s the awfullest coffee in Persia!» |
| «Oh, what I want is a proper cuppa coffee |
| Made from a proper copper coffee pot |
| I might be off my dot |
| But I wanna proper cuppa coffee from a proper coffee pot |
| Iron coffee pots (and tin coffee pots) |
| They’re no good to me |
| If I can’t have a proper cuppa coffee from a proper copper coffee pot, |
| I’ll have a cuppa tea» |
| Balls! |
| Murray Hill 3311, how may I direct your call? |
| I need you to direct me to the police! |
| I was just served coffee in a tin pot! |
| Stay calm, Madam! |
| I’ll send an officer there right away, don’t do anything rash! |
| I thought you liked drain-brewed coffee? |
| I SAID A PROPER CUP OF COFFEE! |
| Sorry, the doctor says caffeine makes me tense |
| (sung) |
| Oh, curse ya, curse ya, curse ya (Balls!) |
| It’s the awfullest coffee in Persia! |
| Oh, what I want is a proper cuppa coffee |
| Made from a proper copper coffee pot |
| I might be off my dot |
| But I wanna proper cuppa coffee from a proper coffee pot |
| Iron coffee pots (and tin coffee pots) |
| They’re no good to me |
| If I can’t have a proper cuppa coffee from a proper copper |
| Coffee pot, I’ll have a cuppa tea |
| (I want a proper cuppa coffee!) |
| I want a proper cuppa coffee! |
| (A proper cuppa coffee!) |
| I want a proper cuppa coffee! |
| I’m a little percolator, short and stout |
| When I get all percolated pour me out |
| All I want is a proper cuppa coffee |
| Made from a proper copper coffee pot |
| I might be off my nut |
| But I wanna proper cuppa coffee from a proper coffee pot |
| Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots |
| They’re no good to me |
| If I can’t have a proper cuppa coffee from a proper copper |
| Coffee pot, I’ll have a cuppa tea |
| If I can’t have a proper cuppa coffee from a proper copper |
| Coffee pot, I’ll have a cuppa tea |
| If I can’t have a proper cuppa coffee from a proper copper |
| Coffee pot, I will have a scotch |
