《Everything Stops for Tea》歌词

[00:00:00] Everything Stops for Tea - Tony Bennett (托尼·班奈特)

[00:00:00] Every nation in creation has it's favourite drink

[00:00:04] France is famous for it's wine

[00:00:06] It's beer in Germany

[00:00:08] Turkey has it's coffee

[00:00:10] And they serve it blacker than ink

[00:00:12] Russians go for vodka and England loves it's tea

[00:00:19] Oh the factories may be roaring

[00:00:22] With a boom a lacka zoom a lacka wee

[00:00:25] But there isn't any roar

[00:00:27] When the clock strikes four

[00:00:28] Everything stops for tea

[00:00:31] Oh a lawyer in the courtroom

[00:00:34] In the middle of an alimony plea

[00:00:37] Has to stop and help them pour

[00:00:39] When the clock strikes four

[00:00:40] Everything stops for tea

[00:00:43] It's a very good English custom

[00:00:46] Though the weather be cold or hot

[00:00:49] When you need a little pick-up

[00:00:51] You'll find a little tea cup

[00:00:52] Will always hit the spot

[00:00:55] You remember Cleopatra

[00:00:58] Had a date to meet Mark Anthony at three

[00:01:01] When he came an hour late she said

[00:01:03] You'll have to wait

[00:01:04] For everything stops for tea

[00:01:07] Oh they may be playing football

[00:01:10] And the crowd is yelling Kill the referee

[00:01:13] But no matter what the score

[00:01:14] When the clock strikes four

[00:01:16] Everything stops for tea

[00:01:19] Oh the golfer may be golfing

[00:01:22] And is just about to make a hole in three

[00:01:25] But it always gets them sore

[00:01:26] When the clock yells four

[00:01:28] Everything stops for tea

[00:01:31] It's a very good English custom

[00:01:34] And a stimulant for the brain

[00:01:37] When you feel a little weary

[00:01:38] A cup'll make you cheery

[00:01:40] And it's cheaper than champagne

[00:01:43] Now I know just why Franz Schubert

[00:01:46] Didn't finish his unfinished symphony

[00:01:49] He might have written more

[00:01:50] But the clock struck four

[00:01:52] And everything stops for tea
