Gilbert And Sullivan - I'm Called Little Buttercup lyrics

[Recitative] Hail, man-o'-war's men, safeguards of your nation, Here is an end, at last, of all privation; You've got your pay--spare all you can afford To welcome Little bu*tercup on board [Aria] I'm called Little bu*tercup, dear Little bu*tercup, Though I could never tell why. But still I'm called bu*tercup, Poor Little bu*tercup, Sweet Little bu*tercup, 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 bu*tercup, Dear Little bu*tercup, Sailors should never be shy; So buy of your bu*tercup, Poor Little bu*tercup, Come, of your bu*tercup buy. [Recitative] But tell me who's the youth whose falt'ring feet With difficulty bear him on his course? [Boatswain] That is the smartest lad in all the fleet, Ralph Rackstraw! [bu*tercup] Ralph! That name! Remorse! Remorse!
