Tea for Three
Verse 1
I just called you, I really do like you
But you have someone you’re quite keen on
You say she’s a, very fine lady
While you’re not sure I’m, your cup of tea
I can be so funny, and also so romantic
How can I persuade you, to take a chance with me?
We could be so happy; you must believe me
Call me, mail me, please invite me to tea
Chorus
So, it’s time for tea, and today its tea for three
An invitation, not to be missed
You welcome us both, with a big smile and a kiss
What type of blend, would you care for?
Ginseng Oolong, Lapsang Souchong
Very tasty, a touch of Pekoe
So, it’s time for tea, and today its tea for three
An invitation, not to be missed
Verse 2
Let’ s take a trip, only for us 2
I’ll read you Shelley, it’ll be heaven
Forget her now, you just don’t need her
Now I’m quite sure I’m, your cup of tea
Once you get to know me, you’ll see I am the best choice
Maybe an acquired taste, like certain special teas
We could be so happy; you must believe me
Call me, mail me, please invite me to tea
​
Chorus
So, it’s time for tea, and today its tea for three
An invitation, not to be missed
You welcome us both, with a big smile and a kiss
What type of blend, would you care for?
Ginseng Oolong, Lapsang Souchong
Very tasty, a touch of Pekoe
So, it’s time for tea, and today its tea for three
An invitation, not to be missed
