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 and very good coffee,
"Soft Tommy" and nice mutton chops,
