Lyrics Proper Cup of Coffee - Ana Gasteyer

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
