The Tea’s Made

I need to go to the shops.
I need to go to the shops for some tea bags.
I’ve got quite enough milk,
Now all I need are some tea bags, tea bags, tea bags.

I will put the kettle on
And I will wait ’til the water is boiling,
And while I am waiting,
I’ll choose a selection of biscuits, biscuits, biscuits.

Like pink wafer for crunching,
Digestive for dunking
And jammy dodger for jam.

When the tea’s made,
Oh yeah, when the tea’s made,
I’m going to hire a milk maid,
So she can help out when the tea’s made.

Oh yeah, when the tea’s made,
Oh yeah, when the tea’s made,
I wouldn’t budge for an air raid,
When I find out that the tea’s made.

The tea bags I got from the shops,
Well they will be added to water,
Then milk and maybe some sugar,
Then I will pick up a teaspoon.
Vigorous stirring should be anti-clockwise
For uniform consistency.

When the tea’s made,
Oh yeah, when the tea’s made,
I’ve a porcelain factory in Port Slade,
So I’ve always got cups when the tea’s made.

When the tea’s made,
Oh yeah, when the tea’s made,
I’ll hide my cake under a lamp shade,
So there’s always some left when the tea’s made.

So dig out the cake forks and the sugar tongs,
Roll out the doilies and the marmalade,
When the tea’s made,
Oh yeah, when the tea’s made.

about

Biscuithead and the Biscuit Badgers Leeds, UK

From time immemorial these musicians have stood at the gateway of nonsense begging peanuts. Spending most of their time trapped in force fields and vortices, occasionally they are released to stalk the streets of Leeds. On such occasions you might hear the plaintive cry of Sam’s tuba, the mournful crow of Dean’s ukulele, the excited jazzy croaking of Bob’s piano or the purr of Matty’s drums. ... more
