The History of Tea Lyrics

[sung]
[SPIKE]
Some tea is green
Some tea is black
And nothing could be finer
It started growing years ago
High in the hills of China
China, by the way, is also what we call the cup
And when you lift it to your lips
Remember: Pinkies up!

[LADYBUGS]
China, by the way, is also what we call the cup
And when you lift it to your lips
Remember: Pinkies up!

[spoken]
[LADYBUG]
Did he say teacups are called china because tea first came from China?

[LADYBUG]
I'm not sure. Maybe he said these teacups were made in China?

[LADYBUG]
Oh ho, china from China! Hee hee!

[SPIKE]
Ladies!

[sung]
Explorers travelled miles and miles away
Across the land and sea
Bringing tea from China to a princess Portuguese!
She wed the king of England, who with his tea did take
A little milk and sugar and a tasty bit of cake!

[LADYBUGS]
She wed the king of England, who with his tea did take
A little milk and sugar and a tasty bit of cake!

[spoken]
[LADYBUG]
Cake? I love cake!

[LADYBUG]
Me too! Do you think it would be chocolate?

[LADYBUG]
Don't know! Are we going to have cake?!

[SPIKE]
Pardon me! I am just trying to finish this song!

[LADYBUGS]
We'd rather have cake!

[SPIKE]
As you were, ladies

[LADYBUGS]
Well, deedly-doo

[sung]
[SPIKE]
Soon the people everywhere were having tea with cake
And thus a new tradition was about to overtake
As every afternoon they gathered friends and family
Like Alice in her Wonderland they'd have a tea party!

[LADYBUGS]
Every afternoon they'd gather friends and family
Like Alice in her Wonderland they'd have a tea party!

[SPIKE]
Today we drink it everywhere, at home or in the diner
To think this story all began upon a hill in China
Now don't forget that china's also what we call the cup
And when you lift it to your lips
Remember: Pinkies up!

[LADYBUGS]
Don't forget that china's also what we call the cup

[LADYBUG]
Hey, what about the saucer?

[SPIKE]
And when you lift it to your lips

[LADYBUGS]
When you lift it to your lips

[LADYBUGS and SPIKE]
Remember: Pinkies up!
