Drinking Tea

One, Two, Three

Billy prefers swimming to tennis

Thomas prefers London to Paris

And Betty likes me more than anything else in the world

Frankie prefers theater to movies

George is quite busy with his studies

Still Betty likes me more than anything else in the world

Would you like to go swimming or flying to Europe

(I'd rather walk down by the sea)

Are you still drinking whisky to feel at the top

(No I'm spending my time drinking tea)

Where d'you go when you feel you got real sick

How d'you feel when the fever goes high

How d'you go from here to the office

I've got a letter to send and stamps to buy

Would you like to go swimming or flying to Europe

(I'd rather walk down by the sea)

Are you still drinking whisky to feel at the top

(No I'm spending my time drinking tea)

How d'you say 'Good Morning' in French

Where can I eat a good meal that'd be cheap?

All day's gone and I'm still on the bench

In the park where the lovers are real

Sinking deep

Would you like to go singing or dancing in the backyard

(I'd rather walk down by the sea)

Are you still buying tickets that make you feel so sharp

(I'm just holidaying for me)

(And the sun does the shining for me)

(While I'm spending my time drinking tea)
