[Verse 1]
CGranny's always ravin' and rantin',
And she's always puffin' and Fpantin',
And she's Calways screaming and shouting,
And she's Falways Gbrewing up Ctea.
[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 cuppCa te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea,

Have a cuppCa 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]

CTea in the morning, tea in the evening, Ftea at supperCtime,
You get Ftea when its raining, Ctea when its snowing,
Tea when the Fweathers Gfine,
You get Ctea as a mid-day stimulant,
You get Ftea with your Gafternoon Ctea,
WhatFever your ailment Cor disease,
For FChrist sake, Ghave a cuppa Ctea.
[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!
