Little Buttercup - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
LITTLE BUTTERCUP. 
Hail men-o'-war's men, safeguard's 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 Buttercup on board. 
For 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 jackey, 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 taffy and excellent coffee, Soft tommy and succulent chops; I've chickens and comes and pretty polonies, And excellent peppermint drops. 
Then bny of your Buttercup, dear little Buttercup, Sailors should never be shy; So buy of your Buttercup, poor little Buttercup, Come, of your Buttercup buy!
