A spoon for every knife
A bowl for every plate
A pat of butter for the daily bread
A starched white cloth for the table
Cream and sugar to make it right
And ladyfingers clutching tight
Napkin folded neatly by the fork
Clear, clean water in my cup
You yank-- and dishes fly
A silver spoon chimes glass as it cracks in midair
My eyes like saucers as you smile and say,
“I don’t want to wreck your tea.
I don't want to wreck your tea.”
Flower propped brightly in the vase
Candles set in perfect symmetry
You yank-- and dishes fly
A silver spoon chimes glass as it cracks in midair
The cloth held fast in your hand
drags the floor with the crumbs that tumble from my mouth
My eyes like saucers as you smile and say,
“I don’t want to wreck your tea,
I don’t want to crash your party,
I don’t want to ruin your life,
I don't want to wreck your tea.”
A spoon for every knife
A bowl for every plate
A pat of butter for the daily bread
A starched white cloth for the table
Cream and sugar to make it right
And ladyfingers clutching tight
