Chris Glassfield - Brew Up! Lyrics

In the burning sun by a mountain stream
On the tip of a stem is a leaf so green
In China, India and Ceylon
Grows a shrub that's loved by everyone

With milk or lemon with sugar or not
You can serve it chilled, you can serve hot
From Darjeeling to Old Malay
Can we live without our tea? - No Way!

Brew up! - Put the tea in the kettle
Brew up! - Put the kettle on the stove
Brew up! - Let the wood in the mettle
Feed the fire for the kettle 'cause I want a hot cup!

Brew up! - Put the tea in the kettle
Brew up! - Put the kettle on the stove
Brew up! - Let the wood in the mettle
Hit the fire for the kettle 'cause I want a hot cup!

At work or play in the county or the town
That ancient tipple will never let you down
It'll calm your nerves, it's a pick me up
You just can't beat that steaming cup!

From the lady with her silver to the navvy with his mug
It's a natural high, it's comforting hug
As long as we can have a cup of tea
Then you and I will very merry be!

Brew up! - Put the tea in the kettle
Brew up! - Put the kettle on the stove
Brew up! - Let the wood in the mettle
Feed the fire for the kettle cause I want a hot cup!

Brew up! - Put the tea in the kettle
Brew up! - Put the kettle on the stove
Brew up! - Let the wood in the mettle
Hit the fire for the kettle 'cause I want a hot cup!

For life is long and life is sweet
And planet earth has lots to eat
As long as we can have a cup of tea
Then you and I will very merry be!

Brew up! - Put the tea in the kettle
Brew up! - Put the kettle on the stove
Brew up! - Let the wood in the mettle
Feed the fire for the kettle cause I want a hot cup!

Brew up! - Put the tea in the kettle
Brew up! - Put the kettle on the stove
Brew up! - Let the wood in the mettle
Hit the fire for the kettle 'cause I want a hot cup!
