[Verse 1]
She was a china teacup
And he was a coffee mug
When he would see that teacup
It gave his heart a tug

She was a way above him
High up on another shelf
Still, he was sure she'd love him
If he declared himself

So, one day on the table
He was at her side by chance
He seized this opportunity
To start his big romance

But, when he began to speak up
She gave him a nasty shrug
For she was a china teacup
And he was just a mug

[Bridge]
The kettlе on the hearth would sing to him
The spoony littlе spoon would cling to him
The Daphne even offered her ring to him
But none of these girls meant a thing to him
[Verse 2]
A sugar bowl, the sweetest little soul
Wanted to console him
But he was set on just one goal
And no-one could control him

There was a saucy saucer
Who met him at every meal
She was a torso tosser
With lots of sex appeal

Our handsome hero [?]
They could not make him stir
Although they had the kind of charm
That gentlemen prefer

So, all through the day he'd peek up
At somebody proud and smug
She was a china teacup
And he was just a mug
