Have A Cuppa Tea

	  		
 

verse 1 
E 
Granny's always ravin' and rantin', 
                             A 
And she's always puffin' and pantin', 
          E 
And she's always screaming and shouting, 
          A      B          E 
And she's always brewing up tea. 

verse 2 

Grandpappy's never late for his dinner, 
'Cause he loves his leg of beef, 
And he washes it down with a brandy, 
And a fresh made cup of tea. 

Pre-Chorus 
E                A   B   A   E   B  
           E 
Have a cuppa te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea, 
E                A   B   A   E   B  
           E 
Have a cuppa te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea. 

verse 3 
If you feel a bit under the weather, 
If you feel a little bit peeved, 
Take Granny's stand-by potion, 
For any old cough or wheeze. 

verse 4 
It's a cure for hepatitis, 
It's a cure for chronic insomnia, 
It's a cure for tonsillitis, 
And for water on the knee. 

Pre-Chorus 
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, 
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea. 


      E           E           E    B     E 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea, 
      E           E           E    B     E 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea.

E                                       A            E 
Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at suppertime, 
        A                     E 
You get tea when its raining, tea when its snowing, 
             A        B 
Tea when the weathers fine, 
        E 
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant, 
        A             B         E 
You get tea with your afternoon tea, 
    A                 E 
Whatever your ailment or disease, 
    A            B            E 
For Christ sake, have a cuppa tea. 

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea! 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea! 


Verse 5 
Whatever the situation, 
Whatever the race or creed, 
Tea knows no segregation, 
No class nor pedigree. 

Verse 6 
It knows no motivations, 
No sect or organization, 
It knows no one religion, 
No political belief. 

Pre-Chorus (2x) 
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea, 
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea. 


Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea! 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea! 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea! 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, Oh for Christ sake, have a cuppa tea!
