Tea time won't be the same without my Donna

At night I lie awake and dream of Donna

I think about that small cafe

That's where we used to meet each day

And then we used to sit a while

And drink our afternoon tea

I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)

If you take it with me (afternoon tea)

You take as long as you like

'Cause I like you, girl

I take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)

You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)

Like you talking to me

Because you ease my mind

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Tea time still ain't the same without my Donna

At night I lie awake and dream of Donna

I went to our cafe one day

They said that Donna walked away

You'd think at least she might have stayed

To drink her afternoon tea

I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)

If you take it with me (afternoon tea)

You take as long as you like

'Cause I like you, girl

I take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)

Every day of the week (afternoon tea)

Please come along if you like

Because I like you, girl

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
