Have A Cuppa Tea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea!
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea!
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
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea!
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosalee!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosalee!
Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at suppertime
You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing
Tea when the weathers fine
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant
You get tea with your afternoon tea
Whatever your ailment or disease
For Christ's sake, have a cuppa tea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosalee!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosalee!
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, no political belief
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea!
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea!
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea!
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosalee!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosalee!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosalee!
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, for Christ's sake, have a cuppa tea!
