Thread Name: Origins: Proper Cup of Coffee
Subject: ADD Verse: Proper Cup of Coffee
I heard (and recorded) John Foreman singing this in 1972. Once the audience had got the hang of the coffee version of the chorus, he would throw in the following variantAll I want is a proper pint of porter
Poured in a proper pewter porter pot
I may be off my dot,
But I want a pint of porter in a pewter porter pot
Iron porter pots and tin porter pots,
They're no use to me,
If I can't have a proper pint of porter from a proper pewter porter pot
I'll have a cup of tea!"
