Tom Caruana - Everything stops for tea lyrics

You're sitting at your desk The report is due in by three And its ten past now, but for heavens sake Its still about time for tea Or your wife or husband left you Taking kids, furniture and the keys Well pull yourself together, keep calm and carry on Take time out for tea A superhero saves the world from a fiendish villain spree Needs to get back to the batcave Where Alfred has got the tea A captain on the oceans hits an iceberg and might freeze But before he mans the lifeboats, well there is still time for tea! Its a very good English custom Though the weather be cold or hot If you need a little pickup Pour a little teacup It'll always hit the spot The soldiers may be fighting In trenches or in battles in the sea But there isn't any war when the clock strikes four Everything stops for tea! One... two... three... four: everything stops for tea! One... two... three... four: everything stops for tea! One... two... three... four: everything stops for tea! One... two... three... four: everything stops for tea! This truly mighty empire Wasn't built in an afternoon Cause we had to stop for muffins and stuffed bu*tered crumpets And a fresh pot brewed for two Gameskeeper or a poacher Whether lord or a cleaner of the loo Whether rich or poor when the clock strikes four you know just what to do! When queen Vic ran the country, she was grumpy then my friends Just a little bit of puff and a pot of brown stuff and it picked her up again If your life is filled with hardships, well that's awful poor old you But you'll always have me and you'll always have tea, so come on and pour that brew! Its a very good English custom Though the weather be cold or hot If you need a little pickup Pour a little teacup It'll always hit the spot The soldiers may be fighting In trenches or in battles in the sea But there isn't any war when the clock strikes four Everything stops for tea!
