Everything Stops for Tea

You're sitting at your desk
 The report is due in by three
 And its ten past now, but for heavens sake
 Its still about time for tea
 Or your wife or husband left you
 Taking kids, furniture and the keys
 Well pull yourself together, keep calm and carry on
 Take time out for tea
 A superhero saves the world from a fiendish villain spree
 Needs to get back to the batcave
 Where Alfred has got the tea
 A captain on the oceans hits an iceberg and might freeze
 But before he mans the lifeboats, well there is still time for tea!
 Its a very good English custom
 Though the weather be cold or hot
 If you need a little pickup
 Pour a little teacup
 It'll always hit the spot
 The soldiers may be fighting
 In trenches or in battles in the sea
 But there isn't any war when the clock strikes four
 Everything stops for tea!
 One... two... three... four: everything stops for tea!
 One... two... three... four: everything stops for tea!
 One... two... three... four: everything stops for tea!
 One... two... three... four: everything stops for tea!
 This truly mighty empire
 Wasn't built in an afternoon
 Cause we had to stop for muffins and stuffed buttered crumpets
 And a fresh pot brewed for two
 Gameskeeper or a poacher
 Whether lord or a cleaner of the loo
 Whether rich or poor when the clock strikes four you know just what to do!
 When queen Vic ran the country, she was grumpy then my friends
 Just a little bit of puff and a pot of brown stuff and it picked her up again
 If your life is filled with hardships, well that's awful poor old you
 But you'll always have me and you'll always have tea, so come on and pour that brew!
 Its a very good English custom
 Though the weather be cold or hot
 If you need a little pickup
 Pour a little teacup
 It'll always hit the spot
 The soldiers may be fighting
 In trenches or in battles in the sea
 But there isn't any war when the clock strikes four
 Everything stops for tea!
