 (1935, ACK BUCHANAN: Everything Stops for Tea)


Everything Stops For Tea song lyrics 

EVERYTHING STOPS FOR TEA Goodhart, Hoffman & Sigler

Every nation in creation has its favourite drink France is famous for its wine It’s beer in

Germany Turkey has its coffee and they serve it blacker than ink Russians go for vodka And

England loves its tea

Oh, the fact’ry may be roaring With a Boom-a-lacka, Zoom-a-lacka, Whee! But there isn’t any
roar when the clock strikes four Everything stops for tea!

Oh, a lawyer in the courtroom In the middle of an alimony plea Has to stop and have a pour when the clock strikes four Everything stops for tea!

It’s a very good English custom Though the weather be cold or hot When you need a little pick-up You’ll find a little tea-cup Will always hit the spot

You remember Cleopatra Had a date to meet Mark Anthony at three When he came an hour late, she said “You’ll have to wait For everything stops for tea!”

Oh, they may be playing football And the crowd is yelling “Kill the referee!” But no matter what the score when the clock strikes four Everything stops for tea!

Oh, the golfer may be golfing And is just about to make a hole-in-three But it always gets them sore when the clock yells “four” Everything stops for tea

It's a very good English custom And a stimulant for the brain When you feel a little weary, a cup'll make you cheery And it's cheaper than champagne
Now I know just why Franz Schubert Didn't finish his unfinished symphony He might have written more but the clock struck four And everything stopped for tea 

When I head the song, I think if the app will play the music, that would be interesting so I use the song to be the background song for the app.
