[Verse 1]
Tea time won't be the same without my Donna
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
I think about that small cafe
That's where we used to meet each day
And then we used to sit a while
And drink our afternoon tea
[Chorus]
I'll take afternoon tea (Afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (Afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl
[Post-Chorus]
I take sugar with tea (Afternoon tea)
You take milk if you please (Afternoon tea)
Like you talking to me
Because you ease my mind
[Bridge]
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Verse 2]
Tea time still ain't the same without my Donna
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
I went to our cafe one day
They said that Donna walked away
You'd think at least she might have stayed
To drink her afternoon tea
[Chorus]
I'll take afternoon tea (Afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (Afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl
[Post-Chorus]
I'd take afternoon tea (Afternoon tea)
Every day of the week (Afternoon tea)
Please come along if you like
Because I like you, girl
[Outro]
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
