I'd like to be a teabag,
And stay at home all day -
And talk to other teabags In a teabag sort of way.
I'd love to be a teabag,
And lie in a little box -
And never have to wash my face
Or change my dirty socks...
I'd like to be a teabag,
An Earl Grey one perhaps,
And doze all day and lie around
With Earl grey kind of chaps.
I wouldn't have to do anything,
No homework, jobs or chores -
Comfy in my caddy
Of teabags and their snores.
I wouldn't have to do exams,
I needn't tidy rooms,
Or sweep the floor or feed the cat
Or wash up all the spoons.
I wouldn't have to do a thing,
A life of bliss - you see....
Except that once in all my life
I'd make a cup of tea!
