Have a Cuppa Tea

Granny's always ravin' and rantin'

And she's always puffin' and pantin'

And she's always screaming and shouting

And she's always brewing up tea

Grandpappy's never late for his dinner

Cos he loves his leg of beef

And he washes it down with a brandy

And a fresh made pot of tea

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa 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

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea

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 cuppa tea

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea

Whatever the situation, whatever the race or creed

Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree

It knows no motivations, no sect or organisation

It knows no one religion

Nor political belief

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea
