Topic: Tea with the Earl of Dishwater

TEA WITH THE EARL        BUVVY    20-02-09
I  AM  THE  EARL  OF  DISHWATER
THIS  I  DO  DECREE
IN  ABOUT  15  SECONDS
SOME  PEASANT  HAD  BETTER
BRING  ME  MY  DAILY  CUP   OF  TEA
IF  IT  IS  NOT  HERE  SOON
ONE  SWIFT  ROYAL  KICK
WILL  LAND  YOU  ON  THE  MOON
SO  HURRY  UP  NOW  PEASANT
I  CANNOT  WAIT  UNTIL  JUNE
FOR  MY  ROYAL  CUP  OF  TEA
HERE  WE  ARE  YOUR  HIGHNESS
HERE  IS  YOUR  CUP  OF  TEA
MAY  I  ASK  IF  TWO  SUGARS
WILL  BE  ENOUGH  FOR  THEE
WHAT  DO  YOU  MEAN
YOU  STUPID  PEASANT
CAN’T  YOU  COUNT  TO  THREE
I  AM  SO  SORRY  YOUR  HIGHNESS
HOW  SILLY  OF  ME
NOT  TO  OFFER  YOU  THREE
BUT  MAY  I  ADD  SOME  MILK
TO  THE  EARLS’  CUP  OF  TEA
WHAT  IS  THIS  TALK  OF  MILK
YOU  STUPID  PEASANTS’  DAUGHTER
DO  YOU  WANT  ME  TO  ADD YOUR  NAME
TO  THE  VERY  LONG  LIST
OF  THOSE  THAT  I  AM  MIGHT  DECIDE  TO  SLAUGHTER
I  AM  SO  SORRY  GREAT  EARL
PLEASE  FORGIVE  ME
FOR  I  AM  NOTHING 
BUT  A  PEASANT  GIRL
TRYING  TO  BRING  YOU  SOME  TEA
I  DEMAND  NEW  CUPS
BROUGHT  ON  A  SILVER  TRAY
FOR  WHAT  I  SEE  BEFORE  ME
IS  NOTHING  BUT  SHEER  DISARRAY
HURRY  UP  NOW  PEASANT
MY  THIRST  IS  GROWING  GREAT
AND  IF  YOU  DO  NOT  HURRY
YOUR  HEAD  WILL  LAND  UP
UPON  MY  SILVER  PLATE

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Tea with the Earl of Dishwater

lol lol lol

I said " Id be back to read this piece.  Earl Grey Tea ! was once only for the gentry.  Now Buvvy
im sorry to disappoint you, but earl grey is in every cafe /diner/ restaurant/ or greasy spoon you can imagine.

i dont know to many who like the stuff, Its nearly as common as "The Earl of Dishwater " lol

C'mon Buvvy, ill make you a nice cup of cha.. I prefer Lyons Tea, but Barrys is a good seller here ! I do
believe its the power of there marketing team.

Have a listen to this promotion of theres.
