lyrics

Teatime!

Between the Earth and Mars
Revolving about the sun
In an elliptical orbit
There is a teapot

Obscured by stars and distance
The teapot is too small
To be revealed by our telescopes
Our view is distorted

What a glow does the teapot bring
After a walk in chilly rain!
It is the comforts of solitude
And the pleasures of company

Affirmed in ancient books
Taught as the sacred truth (every Sunday)
Instilled in minds of children
There is a teapot

Let’s have a cup of tea
With herbal healing powers,
Quiet, in flux, craved for thirst,
Like beauty, taught by fire

What a glow does the teapot bring
After a walk in chilly rain!
It is the comforts of solitude
And the pleasures of company
