|
Come inside, shut the door |
|
Grab the blankets off the floor |
|
Let your sneakers dry there on the radiator |
|
Here we are, winter again |
|
Brittle bones and prickled skin |
|
All the geese have flown |
|
I wish I was a hibernator |
|
And tonight it's clear to me |
|
How a country could secede |
|
We keep close, huddle tight |
|
Near the stove, blue and bright |
|
While the kettle warms, how long have we waited? |
|
If they took this joy away |
|
Small it is, but ours today |
|
Well I know, I know, I wanna be liberated |
|
And tonight it's clear to me |
|
How a country could secede |
|
For a cup of tea |
|
For a cup of tea |
|
For a cup of tea! |
|
Here I am, for by sea |
|
They took our bombs to take our tea |
|
We will ring our bells to warn of their arrival |
|
We keep close, huddled tight |
|
Me and you, we'll be alright |
|
And this tea for two will aid in our survival |
|
And tonight it's clear to me |
|
How a country could secede |
|
For a cup of tea! |
|
For a cup of tea! |
|
For a cup of tea! |
