Have A Cuppa Tea

Granny's always ravin' and rantin'

And she's always puffin and pantin'

And she's always screamin' and shoutin'

And she's always brewin' up tea



Grand pappy'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

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 standby 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 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

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 sector organization

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
