Tea for Two

                                  Come inside, shut the door

Grab the blankets off the floor

Let your sneakers dry there on the radiator

Here we are, winter again

Brittle bones and prickled skin

All the geese have flown

I wish I was a hibernator



And tonight it's clear to me

How a country could secede



We keep close, huddle tight

Near the stove, blue and bright

While the kettle warms, how long have we waited?

If they took this joy away

Small it is, but ours today

Well I know, I know, I wanna be liberated



And tonight it's clear to me

How a country could secede

For a cup of tea

For a cup of tea

For a cup of tea!



Here I am, for by sea

They took our bombs to take our tea

We will ring our bells to warn of their arrival

We keep close, huddled tight

Me and you, we'll be alright

And this tea for two will aid in our survival



And tonight it's clear to me

How a country could secede 

For a cup of tea! 

For a cup of tea!

For a cup of tea!
