Subject: Lyr Add: THE TEA SONG (Michael Hurley)
I'm trying to track down who wrote or performed a song that I think is called PUT UP THE TEA. I think I know all of the words and several stanzas follow.
Put up the tea and let it brew. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. I like six cups, not one or two. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Break out the cups and the honey too, And put up the tea and let it brew.
I don't care that she left me As long as the cupboard is full of tea.
My nerves are shaking and my heart is breaking, But that's just because of all the tea I've taken.
Poor old Bucha has turned to stone. That's why I drink tea alone.
