When I drink my tea,
I want it to stay,
Right there in the cup,
I like it that way.

I don't want it to
Slop over the lip,
Or drip on my plate,
Not even a bit.

Ever so little
I tip my cup
For a tasty sip
‘Till I drink it all up.

So a special blend
Is the tea for me...
The one I must have
Is my gravi-tea.
