Get out of bed to make myself some tea
see what is up here on the shelf
am I looking in the right place
maybe I should be looking somewhere else?

I know there are quite a lot
and weekly she buys more
been trying so many kinds
it feels like the whole store

I don't like spending money this way
just cannot get this into my brain
why do we have to go down this aisle?
Why are there so many teas in style?

One brand's enough
that is quite enough

Put on the kettle
wait for it then pour
it feels like such a chore
I don't want to make hot drinks now
what are all the flavours for?

There is confusion and surprise which happens
every time you bring home more
the jar is full all the packets are open
so make tea on your own

I don't like spending money this way
just cannot get this into my brain
why do we have to go down this aisle?
Why are there so many teas in style?

One brand's enough
that is quite enough

One brand's enough
cannot stand the stuff

now we have no more room in the car
I think you have taken this too far

if you want your supply
just keep it small
I will not touch your tea
In anyway at all

Put on the kettle
wait for it then pour
I do not like your tea at all

I do not like spending money this way
just cannot get this into my brain
why we do have to go down this aisle?
Why are there so many teas in style?

One brand's enough
that is quite enough

One brand's enough
that is quite enough

this tea is too hot to try
