Afternoon Tea

.

Tea time won't be the same without my Donna

At night I lie awake and dream of Donna

I think about that small cafe

That's where we used to meet each day

And then we used to sit a while

And drink our afternoon tea

.

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 take sugar with tea (afternoon tea)

You take milk if you please (afternoon tea)

Like you talking to me

Because you ease my mind

.

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba (afternoon tea)

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

.

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 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)

.
