A         C#m                          B    Bm
Tea time won't be the same without my Donna
A        C#m                       B   Bm
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
C#                  F#m
I think about that small café
C#                      F#m
That's where we used to meet each day
C#                  F#m    F#
And then we used to sit a while
      D       G          F#m
And drink our afternoon tea

Chorus:
C#m       B          A
I'll take afternoon tea (afternoon tea)
C#m     B            A
If you take it with me (afternoon tea)
A                        E
You take as long as you like
          B
'cause I like you, girl
C#m     B          A
I take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)
C#m       B            A
You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)
 A                   E
Like you talking to me
                     B
Because you ease my mind

C#m      B      A
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
C#m      B      A
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
C#m      B      A
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)
C#m      B      A
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Tea time still ain't the same without my Donna
At night I lie awake and dream of Donna
I went to our cafe one day
They said that Donna walked away
You'd think at least she might have stayed
To drink her afternoon tea

Chorus:
I'll take afternoon tea (Afternoon tea)
If you take it with me (Afternoon tea)
You take as long as you like
'Cause I like you, girl

I'd take afternoon tea (Afternoon tea)
Every day of the week (Afternoon tea)
Please come along if you like
Because I like you, girl

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (Afternoon tea)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
