As recorded by Gracie Fields:

I like a nice cup of tea in the morning,
For to start the day, you see!
And at half past eleven,
Well my idea of heaven
Is a nice cup of tea!

I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner,
And a nice cup of tea with my tea,
And when it's time for bed,
There's a lot to be said
For a nice cup of tea!

Some folks put much reliance
On politics and science;
There's only one hero for me!
Its praise we should be roaring,
The man who thought of pouring
The first boiling water onto tea!

I like a nice cup of tea in the morning,
For to start the day, you see!
And at half past eleven,
Well my idea of heaven
Is a nice cup of tea!

I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner,
And a nice cup of tea with my tea,
And when it's time for bed,
There's a lot to be said
For a nice cup of tea!

I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner,
And a nice cup of tea with my tea,
And when it's getting late,
Almost anything can wait
For a nice cup of tea!
