if i gave you this cup
would you drink from it
or would you pass it up politely
say “i would not dream of it”
or would you throw it back
drain it to the very last drop
what would you do
if i gave you this cup

if i gave you my hat
would you put it on
or say “i couldn’t wear that
it would look stupid on me”
or would you wear it anyway
say “it don’t look half so bad”
what would you say
if i gave you my hat

if i gave you excuses
would you buy ‘em
or accuse me
of being a bald faced liar
or would you laugh and laugh
as if i amused you
what would you do
if i gave you this cup

would you throw it back
drain it to the very last drop
what would you do
what would you do
