Everything Stops for Tea - Tony Bennett (托尼·班奈特)[00:00:00]

Every nation in creation has it's favourite drink[00:00:00]

France is famous for it's wine[00:00:04]

It's beer in Germany[00:00:06]

Turkey has it's coffee[00:00:08]

And they serve it blacker than ink[00:00:10]

Russians go for vodka and England loves it's tea[00:00:12]

Oh the factories may be roaring[00:00:19]

With a boom a lacka zoom a lacka wee[00:00:22]

But there isn't any roar[00:00:25]

When the clock strikes four[00:00:27]

Everything stops for tea[00:00:28]

Oh a lawyer in the courtroom[00:00:31]

In the middle of an alimony plea[00:00:34]

Has to stop and help them pour[00:00:37]

When the clock strikes four[00:00:39]

Everything stops for tea[00:00:40]

It's a very good English custom[00:00:43]

Though the weather be cold or hot[00:00:46]

When you need a little pick-up[00:00:49]

You'll find a little tea cup[00:00:51]

Will always hit the spot[00:00:52]

You remember Cleopatra[00:00:55]

Had a date to meet Mark Anthony at three[00:00:58]

When he came an hour late she said[00:01:01]

You'll have to wait[00:01:03]

For everything stops for tea[00:01:04]

Oh they may be playing football[00:01:07]

And the crowd is yelling Kill the referee[00:01:10]

But no matter what the score[00:01:13]

When the clock strikes four[00:01:14]

Everything stops for tea[00:01:16]

Oh the golfer may be golfing[00:01:19]

And is just about to make a hole in three[00:01:22]

But it always gets them sore[00:01:25]

When the clock yells four[00:01:26]

Everything stops for tea[00:01:28]

It's a very good English custom[00:01:31]

And a stimulant for the brain[00:01:34]

When you feel a little weary[00:01:37]

A cup'll make you cheery[00:01:38]

And it's cheaper than champagne[00:01:40]

Now I know just why Franz Schubert[00:01:43]

Didn't finish his unfinished symphony[00:01:46]

He might have written more[00:01:49]

But the clock struck four[00:01:50]

And everything stops for tea[00:01:52]
