Where Would We Be (Without Tea) lyrics by Gilbert OSullivan

Intro, instrumental

Verse 1
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
Birming without its ham
Where would we be without tea?

Verse 2
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
Guinness without its head
Where would we be without tea?

Bridge
I have no doubt, given the facts
Civilisation would simply be axed
Could we go on knowing that one for the pot wasn’t made?
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

Verse 3
Like a pillow without a case
Bullitt without the chase
Like a pool table in a pond
Ducks all waiting for play to go on
Like an eagle without its wings
? without his bins
Where would we be without tea?

Instrumental

Bridge
Who can deny, served in a pot
And with a ? to keep the pot hot
What better way, kickstart 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

Verse 4
Like a camel without a hump
Rubbish without a dump
Like an apple without its core
? all begging for more
Like a party without its host
Sunday without its roast
Where would we be without
Without
Without

Tea, anyone? spoken
