Where Would We Be (Without Tea) Songtext
von Gilbert O’Sullivan

Like a camel without a hump
Rubbish without a dump
Like a ceiling without a floor
Carbon footprints all over the door
Like a baby without a pram
Burning without a tamp

Where would we be without tea?

Like a river without a bend
Fashion without a trend
Like a role model without clothes
Something I think that I would oppose
Like a needle without a thread
A Guinness without its head

Where would we be without tea?


I have no doubt given the facts
Civilization would simply be axed
Could we go on knowing that one
For the pot was a need
You can debate all that you want
No point in arguing once it has gone
Coffee′s okay but on the day
It just isn't the cream

Like a pillow without a case
Bullet without the chase
Like a pool table in a pond
Pucks all waiting for play to go on
Like an eagle without its wings
A buddy without his bins

Where would we be without tea?

Who can deny served in a pot
And with a cosy to keep the pot hot
What better way kick start your day
Armed with a flask
Others of course go to extremes
Out in Japan for example it′s green
While in the States they would prefer
It iced in a glass


Like a camel without a hump
Rubbish without a dump
Like an apple without its core
Support is all begging for more
Like a party without the host
Sunday without its roast

Where would we be without
Without
Tea anyone?
