I only wanted a cup and a saucer
But the man had to say 
He’d make me an offer
Just twenty dollars for the entire lot
“But I don’t want it all
and not the teapot!”

Oh but see here – 
just look what you’re getting
A tall coffee pot
A sugar and creamer
Four dessert plates and
A box with a lemur…

“But the pot has no lid
and besides I don’t want it
I want a cup and a saucer
Not a bee in my bonnet”

You drive a hard bargun
The man said to me
But six extra cups
You could have you a tea

“I don’t need extra cups
and I don’t want a creamer
I’ve no room for it all
and I can’t feed a lemur.”

A deal was then made
and he took my twenty
I left with six cups – Oh Boy that was plenty
I got saucers too an a sugar and creamer
But I left behind
                             that sweet little lemur.
