Great Big Sea - Have A Cuppa Tea lyrics

rate me

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
