Have a Cuppa Tea

It's a cure for tonsillitis, and for water on the knee
Tea when the weather's fine
Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
It knows no motivations, no sect or organization
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
If you feel a little bit peeved

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea
If you feel a bit under the weather
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea

And she's always brewin' up tea
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea

Whatever the situation, whatever the race or creed
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea
You get tea with your afternoon tea

'Cos he loves his leg of beef
For any old ailment or disease
Have a cuppa tea, for Christ sake have a cuppa tea
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea
You get tea as a mid day stimulant
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea
It knows no one religion, nor political belief
Take granny's stand by potion
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea

And he washes it down with a brandy
And she's always screamin' and shoutin'
And a fresh made cup of tea
You get tea when it's rainin', tea when it's snowin'
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea
Grandpappy's never late for his dinner
For Christ sake have a cuppa tea
It's a cure for hepatitis, it's a cure for chronic insomnia

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Rosie Lea
Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at supper time
For any old cough or wheeze
