The Beatles
Dundee, Scotland, Caird Hall, October 7, 1963
Would you care to sit with me
For a cup of English tea?
Very twee, very me
Any sunny morning.
What a pleasure it would be
Chatting so delightfully
Nanny bakes fairy cakes
Every Sunday morning.
Miles of miles of English garden
Stretching past the willow tree
Lines of hollyhocks and roses
Listen most attentively.
As a rule the church bells chime
When it's almost supper time
Nanny bakes fairy cakes
On a Sunday morning.
Lyrics by Paul McCartney
Read about Huw Spink, who collects photos of the Fabs drinking tea.
One of the most delightful aspects is the cat’s serene conviction of equality.
— Margaret Cooper Gay
Trying to be Sherlock Holmes is like trying to catch an arrow in mid-flight.
— Jeremy Brett
She had stupendous courage, a faith in the outcome of honest endeavor.

“Find yourself a cup of tea, the teapot is behind you. Now tell me about hundreds of things.”
