BRING US HOT TEA
(The Kipper Family)

Bring us in no rum, for that's a drink for sailors
But bring us in hot tea, for that will never fail us.

So bring us in hot tea, hot tea, and bring us in hot tea
That's what the blessed ladies make, so bring us in hot tea.

Bring us in no cider, for that will send us reeling
But bring usin hot tea, Earl Gray. Ceylon or Darjeeling.

Bring us in no white wine, for that don't cure no hot thirst
But bring us in hot tea, and be sure to warm the pot first.

Bring us in no snaps, for they are made with brandy
But bring us in hot tea, and a strainer would be handy.

Bring us in no gin, for that was mother's ruin
But bring us in hot tea, and put a lump or two in.

Bring us in no home brew, we're not inclinrd to risk it
But bring us in hot tea, oh, and all right, just one biscuit.

We'll drink no beer at Christmas, the good book tells the tale
But bring us in hot tea, for the angels said, "no ale."
