Canción de Tomar El Té
María Elena Walsh
Tea Drinking Song
We are invited to have tea
The teapot is porcelain
But it can't be seen
I don't know why
The milk is cold and I'll warm it up
I'll put on my long overcoat
Down to the feet
I don't know why
Be careful when you drink, it will fall
Your nose into the cup
And that's not right
I don't know why
Behind a toast, the honey hid
The butter very angry
She scolded her in English
I don't know why
Tomorrow they will arrest him, a colonel
For poking the jam
With a pin
I don't know why
It seems that the sugar was always black
And from a scare it turned white
Just as you see it
I don't know why
The timid plate got married the day before yesterday
To his wife, the coffee pot
He addresses her as 'you'
I don't know why
The poor strainers are very thirsty
Because the water keeps escaping
Every now and then
I don't know why
