English Tea

Would you care to sit with me

For a cup of English tea?

Very twee, very me

Any sunny morningWhat a pleasure it would be

Chatting so delightfully

Nanny bakes fairy cakes

Every Sunday morningMiles of miles of English garden

Stretching past the willow tree

Lines of hollyhocks and roses

Listen most attentivelyDo you know the game croquet?

Peradventure we might play

Very gay, hip hooray

Any sunny morningMiles of miles of English garden

Stretching past the willow tree

Lines of hollyhocks and roses

Listen most attentivelyAs a rule the church bells chime

When it's almost supper time

Nanny bakes fairy cakes

On a Sunday morning
