Granny's always ravin' and rantin' 
And she's always puffin' and pantin', 
And she's always screaming and shouting, 
And she's always brewing up tea. 

Grandpappy'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. 

[Chorus:]
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, 
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, 
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea 
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja Rosie Lea. 

If you feel a bit under the weather, 
If you feel a little bit peeved, 
Take granny's stand-by 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. 

[Chorus]

Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper 
Time, 
You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing. 
Tea when the weather's 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. 

[Chorus]

Whatever the situation whatever the race or creed, 
Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree 
It knows no motivations, no sect or organization, 
It knows no one religion, 
Nor political belief. 

[Chorus]
