Turn on the tea & let it brew
I like six cups not one or two
Break out the cups & the honey too
And turn on the tea & let it brew
I don't care that she's left me
Just so long as the cupboard's full of tea
My nerves are shaking & my heart is breaking
That's just because of all the tea I take in
Poor old Buddha turned into stone
That's why I drink tea alone
Buddha's made of stone & his eyes are ruby
But his thoughts & dreams are distilled in the tea
I'll drink my tea & sit & dream
Conjure up the leprechaun to dance upon the steam
I'm drinking my tea & it's getting late
Thought I heard somebody pass my gate
(I don't know and I wonder what's to become of me
Sitting up all night listening to the CBC)
