Some folks like their coffee,
And then some drink pots of tea.
And, yes, orange juice is very nice,
I think you will agree.
Then there's ginger beer and lemonade
But if you're asking me,
Then - we - pre-fer - co-coa.

CHORUS:
Coffee, lemonade and Oxo [x3]
But - we - pre-fer - co-coa.

Some are fond of Ovaltine,
And some are fond of lime.
And then some are fond of Bovril hot,
Which really is sublime,
While some others much prefer a drink
Of water every time.
But - we - pre-fer - co-coa.

[Repeat CHORUS]

Now, all these drinks are very good
And stimulating too,
Cos they make you keep your spirits up
And help your strength renew.
But then just before we say goodnight,
We'll make it plain to you
That - we - pre-fer - co-coa.

[Repeat CHORUS]
