Sassafras Tea

The sass’fras tea is red and clear In my white china cup, So pretty I keep peeping in Before I drink it up.

I stir it with a silver spoon, And sometimes I just hold A little tea inside the spoon, Like it was lined with gold.

It makes me hungry just to smell The nice hot sass’fras tea, And that’s one thing I really like That they say’s good for me.
