[Verse 1]
I always start to singin' every time you pull the string in
I'm standin' by to just be standin' by
Yes I say I've had enough and this time I'm not bluffin'
But for all the tea in China I know it's a lie
[Chorus]
And I said I wouldn't hang around for all the tea in China
For all the tea in China and my soul
Yes I say I'm gonna pack up this time gonna give up
But for all the tea in China I can't go
[Verse 2]
The palm of your hand now that's where you’ve got me
That's where I'm longin' to be
Try as I may now I just can't stop me
For all the tea in China I hang on desperately
[Chorus]
And I said I wouldn't hang around for all the tea in China
For all the tea in China and my soul
Yes I say I'm gonna pack up this time gonna give up
But for all the tea in China I can't go
For all the tea in China I can't go
