[Verse 1]
EGranny's always ravin' and rantin',
And she's always puffin' and Apantin',
And she's Ealways screaming and shouting,
And she's Aalways Bbrewing up Etea.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Pre-Chorus]

Have a cuppEa te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea,
E A B A E B
Have a cuppEa te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea.
[Verse 3]
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.
[Verse 4]
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.
[Pre-Chorus]
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea.
[Chorus]
HallelEujah, hallelEujah, hallelEujah BRosie ELea,
HallelEujah, hallelEujah, hallelEujah BRosie ELea.

[Bridge]
ETea in the morning, tea in the evening, Atea at supperEtime,
You get Atea when its raining, Etea when its snowing,
Tea when the Aweathers Bfine,
You get Etea as a mid-day stimulant,
You get Atea with your Bafternoon Etea,
WhatAever your ailment Eor disease,
For AChrist sake, Bhave a cuppa Etea.
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
[Verse 5]
Whatever the situation,
Whatever the race or creed,
Tea knows no segregation,
No class nor pedigree.
[Verse 6]
It knows no motivations,
No sect or organization,
It knows no one religion,
No political belief.
[Pre-Chorus] (x2)
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea.
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, Oh for Christ sake, have a cuppa tea!
