Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Intro Guitar  x1, then piano with guitar /  x2
Granny's  always ravin' and rantin'
 And she's always puffin' and pantin'
 And she's always  screaming and shouting
 And she's always  brewing up tea
 Grand...pappy's never late for his dinner
 Cos he loves his leg of beef
 And he washes it down with a brandy
 And a fresh made pot of tea
 Have a cuppa tea_______, have  a cuppa tea
 Have a cuppa tea_______, have  a cuppa tea
 Halleluja,  halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
 Halleluja,  halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
 Interlude  then vamp on
 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
 It's a cure for hepatitis,
 It's a cure for chronic insomnia
 It's a cure for tonsilitis
 And for water on the knee
 Have a cuppa tea_______, have a cuppa tea
 Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
 Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
 Interlude
Tea  in the morning, tea in the evening, tea  at suppertime
 You get tea  when it's raining, tea when it's snowing
Tea  when the weather's fine
 You get tea  as a mid-day stimulant
 You get tea  with your afternoon tea
   (or ?)
 For any old ailment or disease
 For Chrissake have  a cuppa tea
 Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
 Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
 Interlude  then vamp on
 Whatever the situation, whatever the race or creed
 Tea knows no segregation, no class nor pedigree
 It knows no motivation, no sect or organisation
 It knows no one religion, nor political belief
 Have a cuppa tea_______, have a cuppa tea
 Have a cuppa tea_______, for chrissake have a cuppa tea
 Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
 Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
 Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
