After Tea

Hans van Eijck, Ray Fenwick

[Verse 1]
I'll take you to a place with mountains edged with lace
A place where we can find jellybeans and wine
We will drink from golden cups so very old
We can dance with time, chant verses that won't rhyme

[Chorus]
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there, you and me
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there after tea

[Verse 2]
If thou will devour, one may eat a flower
On toast a bean-filled bun, held up before the sun
The bishop and the baker, the candlestick maker
Danced around in time, danced around in line

[Chorus]
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there, you and me
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there after tea

[Verse 3]
You may ride a horse, made of wood of course
The Wooden Horse of Troy in comparison a toy
The rabbit and the goldfish, a very tasty cold dish
Eaten up today, eaten right away

[Chorus]
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there, you and me
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there after tea

[Bridge]
Time for you and me, time for you and tea
Time for (Time for you and me)
You and (Time for you and tea)
Me (Time for you and me, time for you and tea)
Time for (Time for you and me)
You and (Time for you and tea)
Me (Time for you and me, time for you and tea)

[Chorus]
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there, you and me
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there after tea

[Chorus]
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there, you and me
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there after tea

[Chorus/Outro]
Watch now carefully, follow me
We will be there, you and me...
