The song structure is unusual - Verse 1 and Verse 3 have the same tune -
but verses 2 and 4 have a different tune.
And the ending to the 4th chorus has different words from those used the other three.

C G C
Some folks put much reliance on politics and science
Dm7 G C
There's only one hero for me
E B7 E B7
His praise we should be roaring - the man who thought of pouring
Dm7 D7 G7
The first boiling water onto tea
[Chorus 1]
C Cmaj7 Dm7 G7
I like a nice cup of tea in the morning
C C+ F Dm
For to start the day you see
Dm7 G C D7 G7

I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner

And a nice cup of tea with my tea
F F#dim C A7
And when it's time for bed there's a lot to be said
Dm7 G7 C
For a nice cup of tea
[Verse 2]

You can talk about your science and your airships in the sky

The public benefactor of the universe for me
Am D7 G7
Is the genius who thought of pouring water onto tea.

For a nice cup of tea
[Verse 3]
C G C
They say it's not nutritious but still it is delicious
Dm7 G C
And that's all that matters to me
E B7 E B7
It turns your meat to leather - but let's all die together
Dm7 D7 G7
The one drink in paradise is tea
[Chorus 1]

[Verse 4]
C F
You can talk about your liberties - they talk of women's rights
G
I don't want to make no speeches 'cos the one that does is trite
C F
And anyone can have my vote and chuck it in the sea
Am D7 G7
But by golly there'll be trouble if they try to touch me tea
[Chorus 2]
