ENGLISH TEA

Would you care to sit with me

for a cup of English tea

very twee, very me

 any sunny morning

 

What a pleasure it would be

chattling so delightfully

nanny bakes, fairy cakes 

every sunday morning

 

Miles of miles of English garden 

stretching past the willow tree

 lines of hollyhocks and roses

listen most attentively

 

Do you know the game croquet?

peradventure we might play 

very gay, hip hooray 

any sunny morning 

 

Miles of miles of English garden 

streching past the willow tree

lines of hollyhocks and roses

listen most attentively

 

As a rule the church bells chime 

when it's almost supper time

nanny bakes, fairy cakes 

on a Sunday morning
