"Now, this is serious

One thing in this country that really bothers me

Is the inability of Yanks to make a good cup of tea

Instructions are printed on the teabag

But, they either can't read, or they think it's a gag"

I mean, pour boiling water over the tea

How simple and clear can instructions be?

They bring you a cup with a lemon slice

And an unopened tea bag beside it, how nice

And a pot of water, and it may be hot

But boiling it isn't, so tea you have not

Why can't we

Get our tea

We need tea

To set us free

It's boiling water that brings out tea's flavor

With a dash of milk, you've a real brew to savor

They drink luke-warm brown water, that looks like gnats pee

And it's got nothing to do with a good cup of tea

Pour boiling water over the tea

How simple and clear can instructions be?

Pour boiling water over the tea

Pour boiling water over the tea
