G                                    
Granny's always ravin' and rantin'
                             C       
And she's always puffin' and pantin'
          G                                
And she's always screaming and shouting
          D                 G D G        
And she's always brewing up tea

Grand...pappy'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

If you feel a bit under the weather
If you feel a little bit peeved

It's a cure for chronic insomnia
It's a cure for tonsilitis
And for water on the knee

You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing

Tea when the weather's fine

Whatever the situation, whatever the race or creed
Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree
It knows no motivation, no sect or organisation
It knows no one religion, nor political belief

Have a cuppa tea_______, for chrissake have a cuppa tea
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
