Everything Stops For Tea - Long John Baldry[00:00:00]
Yes hello hello[00:00:06]
No I'm sorry I'm frightfully busy today[00:00:08]
Oh Mr baldry can I have your autograph[00:00:11]
Oh god I can't write[00:00:13]
But I've come a long way[00:00:15]
Oh shit[00:00:16]
Oh but it's an equally long way to go back isn't it[00:00:17]
Oh Mr baldry[00:00:20]
Can I play your song for you[00:00:21]
Oh must you[00:00:23]
Uh yes I really must[00:00:24]
Oh go on then[00:00:26]
Yes it's awfully good Mr Lemon[00:00:31]
Oh well use it on your new album[00:00:33]
Uh I don't know I well I'll have to call you[00:00:35]
I'm I'm sorry[00:00:37]
Hello hello no I'm sorry I just been[00:00:40]
I just can't cope I'm sorry[00:00:44]
Here's your tea Mr Baldry[00:00:47]
Ohh bless your heart[00:00:48]
Every nation in creation has it's favourite drink[00:00:52]
France is famous for it's wine[00:00:57]
It's beer in germany[00:01:00]
Turkey has it's coffee[00:01:03]
And they serve it blacker than ink[00:01:05]
Russians go for vodka[00:01:08]
England loves it's tea[00:01:12]
Oh the factory may be roaring[00:01:17]
With a boom lacka zoom lacka wee[00:01:21]
But there isn't any roar[00:01:24]
When the clock strikes four[00:01:25]
Everything stops for tea[00:01:27]
Oh a lawyer in the courtroom[00:01:30]
In the middle of an alimony plea[00:01:33]
Has to stop and help them pour[00:01:36]
When the clock strikes four[00:01:38]
Everything stops for tea[00:01:40]
It's a very good english custom[00:01:42]
Though the weather be cold or hot[00:01:45]
When you need a little pick up[00:01:49]
You'll find a little tea cup[00:01:50]
Will always hit the spot[00:01:52]
You remember cleopatra[00:01:55]
She had a date to meet mark anthony at three[00:01:58]
But he came an hour late she said[00:02:01]
You'll have to wait[00:02:03]
'Cause everything stops for tea[00:02:05]
Now they may be playing football[00:02:07]
And the crowd is shouting[00:02:11]
Kill the referee[00:02:12]
But no matter what the score[00:02:14]
When the clock strikes four[00:02:15]
Everything stops for tea[00:02:17]
Now the golfer may be golfing[00:02:20]
And is just about to make a hole in three[00:02:23]
It always gets them sore[00:02:27]
When the clock yells four[00:02:28]
'Cause everything stops for tea[00:02:30]
It's a very good english custom[00:02:33]
And a stimulant for the brain[00:02:36]
When you feel a little weary[00:02:39]
A cup will make you cheery[00:02:41]
And it's cheaper than champagne[00:02:42]
Now I know just why franz schubert[00:02:46]
Didn't finish his unfinished symphony[00:02:49]
He would have written more[00:02:52]
But the clock struck four[00:02:53]
And everything stops for tea[00:02:55]
