G
Granny's always ravin' and rantin'
                              C
And she's always puffin' and pantin'
          G
And she's always screaming and shouting
          D                  G D G
And she's always brewing up tea

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 pot of tea

Chorus:
              G C G C G D            G
Have a cuppa tea,      have a cuppa tea
              G C G C G D            G
Have a cuppa tea,      have a cuppa tea
      G                           D7    G
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea
      G                           D7    G
Halleluja, halleluja, halleluja, Rosie Lea

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

Chorus:
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea

G                                        C
Tea in the morning, tea in the evening, tea
          G
at suppertime
         G
You get tea when it's raining,
tea when it's snowing
 A                      D
Tea when the weather's fine
         G
You get tea as a mid-day stimulant
         C                       B7
You get tea with your afternoon tea
    C          A    D
For any old ailment or disease
      A7       D7           G
For Chrissake have a cuppa tea

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea

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 or political belief

Chorus:
Have a cuppa tea, have a cuppa tea
Have a cuppa tea, for Christ's sake,
have a cuppa tea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Rosie Lea
