Out to the kitchen to have some tea

When I got there oh, dear me!

What did I come out here for?

Musta been to do a chore

Run the water to do the dishes

Doggie lets you know his wishes

Give the little guy a bone

What's that ringing? Oh, the phone.

Write a note to get some bread

Oh, the birds need to be fed

Go to the closet for the feed

Now, what was it that I need?

Oh, the mop to wash the floor

Someone's knocking at the door

Back to the kitchen for some tea

Water's cold, oh, dear me!

Husband's home to my dismay

What the heck did you do all day?!

Tea cup sitting on the table

Dirty dishes, weren't you able?!?

Doggie waiting for a bone

Pen and paper by the phone

Birds chirping for their seed

Don't you ever see their need?!

I've been so busy every day

And you don't notice...think I play

Think I'll have a cup of tea

Water's cold, oh, dear me!
