Have A Cuppa Tea

Granny’s always raving and ranting
And she’s always puffing and panting
And she’s always screaming and shouting
And she’s always brewing up tea
Grandpappy’s never late for his dinner
Cause he loves his leg of beef
And he washes it down with a brandy
And a fresh made cup of tea
<I>Chorus:</I>
Have a cup of tea, have a cup of tea
Have a cup of tea, have a cup of tea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie lea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie lea
If you feel a bit under the weather
If you feel a little bit peeved
Take granny’s stand-by potion
For any old cough or wheeze
It’s a cure for hepatitis it’s a cure for chronic insomnia
It’s a cure for tonsillitis and for water on the knee
<I>Chorus</I>
Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper
Time
You get tea when it’s raining, tea when it’s snowing
Tea when the weather’s fine
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant
You get tea with your afternoon tea
For any old ailment or disease
For Christ sake have a cup of tea
<I>Chorus</I>
Whatever the situation whatever the race or creed
Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree
It knows no motivations, no sect or organization
It knows no one religion
Nor political belief
<I>Chorus</I>
