An Englishman through & through, I take a cup of tea-o
No matter what the day brings, or what it throws at me-o
I first produce my tea-cup, then the milk & sugar
Then shall I be mother, & pour the boiled brew-ahh

But a tea on it's own doe'n't do
Hobnobs or custard creams, rich tea - as long as there's...
Biscuits in the jar-o

I take all of my money, sometimes a pretty penny
I take all of my money, & buy some garibaldis
Four, 5, 6 or maybe 7, realised I, like Dickens
They leap, speaks he of gingers, like little sugary ninjas

Just a tea on it's own doe'n't do
Hobnobs or custard creams, rich tea - as long as there's...
Biscuits in the jar-o

Drinkin' tea & bourbon, in a Lyons chamber
A thief he was a prowlin', & I never knew the danger
Having bagged my shopping, (barrel packs - two for one!)
Yelled he "stand & deliver", so I let him have both barrels

Just a tea on it's own doe'n't do
Hobnobs or custard creams, rich tea - as long as there's...
Biscuits in the jar-o

Now some men like a coffee, & some men like a bottle
& some men like a smoke, themselves into a stupor
Me, I like dunkin', specially in a Lyons chamber
So here I am again, here I am with tea & strangers

Just a tea on it's own doe'n't do
Hobnobs or custard creams, rich tea - as long as there's...
Biscuits in the jar-o

& I love dunkin' biscuits-o
Get the kettle on for a cup of tea & biscuits, this song's finished
