Everything Stops For Tea

Oh, the factories may be roaring
With a boomalacka zoomalacka whee
But there isn't any roar when the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea

Oh, a lawyer in a courtroom
In the middle of an alimony plea
Has to stop and help 'em pour when the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea

It's a very good English custom
Though the weather be cold or hot
When you need a little pick-up, you'll find a little teacup
Will always hit the spot

Oh, the soldiers may be fighting
In the trenches or a battleship at sea
But there isn't any war when thе clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea
