The Dolls Tea Party

Intro verse 1 At the dolls' tea party, we fritter away The long afternoon of a warm summer day With extended pinkies and pink cloisonne Cups and saucers and pots and a Liberty tray That's why we take our tea At the dolls' tea party Intro verse 2 At the dolls' tea party we twitter along We prattle and tattle on who's done whom wrong On who's in, who's out, and who's best at mahjongg Oh, and where to buy fabulous things for a song That's why we take our tea At the dolls' tea party Bridge But the cakes! Ah, the cakes are why everyone's there They're not dietetic in any way Dare to try one and you'll have a few pounds to spare Try another one What do you care? verse 3 At the dolls', we're all in our glittering best There will be a test on who's best and worst dressed But we won't have it said we're fashion obsessed We're just prettier ladies than most of the rest That's why we take our tea At the dolls' tea party
