[Verse 1] 
[E]Granny's always ravin' and rantin',
And she's always puffin' and [A]pantin',
And she's [E]always screaming and shouting,
And she's [A]always [B]brewing up [E]tea.
[Verse 2] 
Grandpappy's never late for his dinner,
'Cause he loves his leg of beef,
And he washes it down with a brandy,
And a fresh made cup of tea.
[Pre-Cborus] 
[E] [A] [B] [A] [E] [B]  
Have a cupp[E]a te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea,
[E] [A] [B] [A] [E] [B]  
Have a cupp[E]a te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea.
[Verse 3] 
If you feel a bit under the weather,
If you feel a little bit peeved,
Take Granny's stand-by potion,
For any old cough or wheeze.
[Verse 4] 
It's a cure for hepatitis,
It's a cure for chronic insomnia,
It's a cure for tonsillitis,
And for water on the knee.
[Pre-Cborus] 
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea.
[Cborus] 
Hallel[E]ujah, hallel[E]ujah, hallel[E]ujah [B]Rosie [E]Lea,
Hallel[E]ujah, hallel[E]ujah, hallel[E]ujah [B]Rosie [E]Lea.

[Bridge] 
[E]Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, [A]tea at supper[E]time,
You get [A]tea when its raining, [E]tea when its snowing,
Tea when the [A]weathers [B]fine,
You get [E]tea as a mid-day stimulant,
You get [A]tea with your [B]afternoon [E]tea,
What[A]ever your ailment [E]or disease,
For [A]Christ sake, [B]have a cuppa [E]tea.
[Cborus] 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
[Verse 5] 
Whatever the situation,
Whatever the race or creed,
Tea knows no segregation,
No class nor pedigree.
[Verse 6] 
It knows no motivations,
No sect or organization,
It knows no one religion,
No political belief.
[Pre-Cborus] (x2)
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea.
[Cborus] 
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, Oh for Christ sake, have a cuppa tea!
