A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked

All I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee

All I want is a proper cup of coffee,

Made in a proper copper coffee pot

I may be off my dot

But I want a cup of coffee

Tin coffee pots and iron coffee pots

They’re no use to me –

If I can’t have a proper cup of coffee

In a proper copper coffee pot

I’ll have a cup of tea.

What would Chester cheetah chew and chunk on?
