[James A. Landau]

I'm called little buttercup
Dear little buttercup
Though I could never tell why
Yet I bear the name proudly
And shout it out loudly
Quite narcissistic am I

For I am a buttercup
Naught but a buttercup
My own floral parts decry
>From the rounds in my pistil
And the oils that I distill
To the iris of my eye

For I am a buttercup
A proud little buttercup
As you can plainly espy
To call me a daffodil
Is patently underkill
Sweet little buttercup I

For I am a buttercup
A proud little buttercup
Which no one'll ever deny
As I sit here so tranquil
So pretty, so tranquil
Sweet little buttercup I
