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]
E
Grandpappy's never late for his dinner,

                            A
'Cause he loves his leg of beef,

                  E
And he washes it down with a brandy,

        A         B      E
And a fresh made cup of tea.
[Pre-Chorus] E A B A E B

Have a cuppa te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea,

Have a cuppa te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea.
[Verse 3]
E
If you feel a bit under the weather,

                           A
If you feel a little bit peeved,

       E
Take Granny's stand-by potion,

     A       B         E
For any old cough or wheeze.
[Verse 4]
E
It's a cure for hepatitis,

                           A
It's a cure for chronic insomnia,

        E
It's a cure for tonsillitis,

         A    B       E
And for water on the knee.

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.

Whatever the situation,

                      A
Whatever the race or creed,

     E
Tea knows no segregation,

No class nor pedigree.
[Verse 6]
E
It knows no motivations,

No sect or organization,

     E
It knows no one religion,

    A    B      E
No political belief.
