"You have now reached the audience participation portion of our album
This is an old sing-a-long song, and what we'd like for you to do is listen to
The chorus of this song, and then we want you all to sing along."

He took a sip of coffee, just a drip, and he said to his servant Kersia

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!

"Ya got it? well join right in!"

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

Cause...
All I want is a proper cup of coffee, made in a proper copper coffee pot

If I can't have a proper cup of coffee in a proper copper coffee pot, I'll have a cup of tea!

"Well, we didn't exactly expect you to sing along with that last part since
It was in French. This is your last chance, however it is the people's magazine
Version of this song, and it goes like this:"

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."
