Cups and cakes, cups and cakes Oh what good things mother makes! You've gotta take tea, won't you take it with me? What a gay time it will be Cups and cakes, cups and cakes Please make sure that nothing breaks The china's so dear and the treacle so clear And I'm glad that you are here Milk and sugar, bread and jam "Yes please, sir" and "Thank you, ma'am" Here I am Cups and cakes, cups and cakes I'm so full my tummy aches How sad it must end But I'm glad I'd a friend Sharing cups and cakes with me And cakes with me
