He invited us inside.
Do you want to have some tea ?
he asked.
Yes, please.
we both replied.
The dragon watched us with a smile.
Please, sit down next to me.
Im all alone today,
he cried.
And I wanted company!
He offered us some biscuits.
And then he turned his head,
And with a long flame from his mouth,

English tea (Paul McCartney)

Would you care to sit with me
For a cup of English tea
Very twee, very me
Any sunny morning
What a pleasure it would be
Chatting so delightfully
Nanny bakes fairy cakes
Every Sunday morning
Miles and miles of English garden, stretching past the willow tree
Lines of hollyhocks and roses, listen most attentively
Do you know the game croquet
Peradventure we might play
Very gay, hip hooray
Any sunny morning
(solo)
Miles and miles of English garden, stretching past the willow tree
Lines of hollyhocks and roses, listen most attentively
As a rule the church bells chime
When its almost supper time
Nanny bakes fairy cakes
On a Sunday morning
