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
