[Verse 1]
E MajorE
Granny's always ravin' and rantin',
               A augmentedA
And she's always puffin' and pantin',
     E MajorE
And she's always screaming and shouting,
     A augmentedA   BB     E MajorE
And she's always brewing up 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-Chorus]
E MajorE        A augmentedA  BB  A augmentedA  E MajorE  BB
      E MajorE
Have a cuppa te-eee-eee-eee-eea, have a cuppa tea,
E MajorE        A augmentedA  BB  A augmentedA  E MajorE  BB
      E MajorE
Have a cuppa 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-Chorus]
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea.

[Chorus]
   E MajorE      E MajorE      E MajorE  BB   E MajorE
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea,
   E MajorE      E MajorE      E MajorE  BB   E MajorE
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea.

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
E MajorE                    A augmentedA      E MajorE
Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea at suppertime,
    A augmentedA           E MajorE
You get tea when its raining, tea when its snowing,
       A augmentedA    BB
Tea when the weathers fine,
    E MajorE
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant,
    A augmentedA       BB     E MajorE
You get tea with your afternoon tea,
  A augmentedA         E MajorE
Whatever your ailment or disease,
  A augmentedA      BB      E MajorE
For Christ sake, have a cuppa tea.

[Chorus]
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-Chorus] (x2)
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea,
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea.

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Rosie Lea!
