Artist: Trout Fishing In America
Song: What I Want Is A Proper Cup Of Coffee

A Sultan sat on his oriental mat
In his harem in downtown Persia
He took a sip of coffee, just a drip
And he said to his servant Kersia

“Ah, Kersia, Kersia, Kersia
That’s the worst cup of coffee in Persia”
“‘Cause 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 proper coffee
In a proper copper pot”
“Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots
They are 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”
In days of old when knights and men were bold
And whiskey was much cheaper

Burt Turpin rode to a coffee shop
And showed his pistols to the keeper
He said, “Stand and deliver!
Can’t you see that I’m all a quiver?”

“‘Cause 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 proper coffee
In a proper copper pot”

“Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots
They are 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”

When Bonaparte found that he was in the cart
And he lost that Waterloo fight
He gave his sword to Wellington, my Lord
And he said, “Those British can’t half fight”

“Now you’ve had your Waterloo, sir
Tell me what am I having with you, sir?”
“‘Cause 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 proper coffee
In a proper copper pot”
“Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots
They are 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”
Now king Solomon and his queen would carry on
So we heard in the ancient scandals

He bought her lots of silver coffee pots
With diamond legs and handles
And said the Queen of Sheba
“I’d rather have any old tea-bag”

“‘Cause everybody, 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 proper coffee
In a proper copper pot”

“Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots
They are 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”

“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 proper coffee
In a proper copper pot”

“Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots
They are 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”

“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 proper coffee
In a proper copper pot”

“Iron coffee pots and tin coffee pots
They are 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”
