Have A Cuppa Tea Lyrics & Chords By Great Big Sea

Granny's always ravin' and rantin'
And she's always puffin' and pantin'
And she's always screaming and shouting
And she's always brewing up tea

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

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea

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
It's a cure for hepatitis
It's a cure for chronic insomnia
It's a cure for tonsilitis
And for water on the knee

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

Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at suppertime
You get tea when it's raining, tea when it's snowing,
Tea when the weather's fine
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant
You get tea with your afternoon tea
Whatever your ailment or disease
For Christ sake, have a cuppa tea

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

Whatever the situation, whatever the race or creed
Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree
It knows no motivations, no sect or organization
It knows no one religion, no political belief

Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
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
