Every nation in creation has it’s favourite drink
Lyonesseis famous for its wine, It’s beer in Teutonia
Maurabia has it’s coffee and they serve it blacker than ink.
The Wolves go for vodka, and…
Albion loves it’s tea!
Oh the incantors may be incanting
And dismissing creatures with such glee
But they don’t do it anymore when the clock strikes four,
Cause everything stops for tea
And the mages doing their magebolts
to an enemy who won’t flee.
They hold their power for half an hour
for everything stops for tea.
It’s a very good albion custom,
though the weather be cold or hot.
When you need a little pickup,
you’ll find a little teacup, will always hit the spot.
Don’t forget our dutiful healers,
Always picking up you and me.
Well don’t hit the floor when the clock strikes four
Cause everything stops for tea.
Even in the quesetor’s courtroom,
In the middle of an innocence plea,
Execution can wait get your cup and plate
Cause everything stops for tea.
Or the bard in his lyrical wisdom,
Often pens you a song or three,
But don’t get him to sing, when the four bells,
Cause everything stops for tea.
It’s a very good albion custom,
And a stimulant for the brain,
When your feeling rather weary, A cup will make you cheery,
It’s nicer than trampagne.
Now I know just why the warriors
Leave the occasional victim be!
“cause they’re at our door when the clock strikes four
Cause everything stops for tea.
