Lea Salonga - Cups and Saucers lyrics
[Lea Salonga - Cups and Saucers lyrics]
Where I come from
Tea is a very old and beloved tradition
Though I haven't kept every tradition
I certainly have honored tea
My family thought me
That a necessary part of tea is
Of course, cups and saucers
(Cups and saucers) go together
(Cups and) different though they are
(Saucers)
And together (Cups)
They're much better (And saucers)
Than they'd be apart
One holds tea and one holds drips
And only one goes to your lips
But you need both you see
To have a perfect tea (Cups and saucers)
Make a table (Cups and)
Properly defined (Saucers)
Visualize it (Cups)
If you are able (And saucers)
What comes first to mind?
You don't see chopsticks or a spoon
When you first walk into the room
It's teacups that you see
At every perfect tea
(Actually it's the pot you see)
Standing gracefully aside
What, a teapot has it's pride
(Ready to serve at your beck and call)
All the great and all the small
Drunk and milled by a lanterns light
But never cold tea much be hot
It must, tea must be hot (Cups and saucers)
Made from china (Cups and)
Serve a finer tea (Saucers)
After meals are (Cups)
Pork and rice they (And saucers)
Add civility
One holds tea and one holds drips
And only one goes to your lips
But you need both you'll see
To have a perfect tea
Cups and saucers cups and saucers
Cups and saucers
One is fat and one is flat
And one thing that's for sure is that
They both fit perfectly
At a perfect princess tea
Tea is a very old and beloved tradition
Though I haven't kept every tradition
I certainly have honored tea
My family thought me
That a necessary part of tea is
Of course, cups and saucers
(Cups and saucers) go together
(Cups and) different though they are
(Saucers)
And together (Cups)
They're much better (And saucers)
Than they'd be apart
One holds tea and one holds drips
And only one goes to your lips
But you need both you see
To have a perfect tea (Cups and saucers)
Make a table (Cups and)
Properly defined (Saucers)
Visualize it (Cups)
If you are able (And saucers)
What comes first to mind?
You don't see chopsticks or a spoon
When you first walk into the room
It's teacups that you see
At every perfect tea
(Actually it's the pot you see)
Standing gracefully aside
What, a teapot has it's pride
(Ready to serve at your beck and call)
All the great and all the small
Drunk and milled by a lanterns light
But never cold tea much be hot
It must, tea must be hot (Cups and saucers)
Made from china (Cups and)
Serve a finer tea (Saucers)
After meals are (Cups)
Pork and rice they (And saucers)

One holds tea and one holds drips
And only one goes to your lips
But you need both you'll see
To have a perfect tea
Cups and saucers cups and saucers
Cups and saucers
One is fat and one is flat
And one thing that's for sure is that
They both fit perfectly
At a perfect princess tea
