Binnie Hale (22 May 1899–10 January 1984) was an English actress and musician. Both her father, Robert Hale and brother, Sonnie Hale were actors. She married West End actor Jack Raine, with whom she had one daughter.
Among films and stage productions, she appeared in No, No, Nanette in 1925 at the Palace Theatre, London. Her recording of the song "Spread A Little Happiness" from the 1928 musical Mr. Cinders is possibly her best remembered work

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.
[Verse 1] CGC Some folks put much reliance on politics and science Dm7GC There's only one hero for me EB7EB7 His praise we should be roaring - the man who thought of pouring Dm7D7G7 The first boiling water onto tea
[Chorus 1] CCmaj7Dm7G7 I like a nice cup of tea in the morning CC+FDm For to start the day you see Dm7GCD7G7 And at half-past eleven well my idea of Heaven is a nice cup of tea CCmaj7Dm7G7 I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner CC+FDm And a nice cup of tea with my tea FF#dimCA7 And when it's time for bed there's a lot to be said Dm7G7C For a nice cup of tea
[Verse 2] CF You can talk about your science and your airships in the sky G I can do without the wireless and you'll never see me fly CF The public benefactor of the universe for me AmD7G7 Is the genius who thought of pouring water onto tea.
[Chorus 1] CCmaj7Dm7G7 I like a nice cup of tea in the morning CC+FDm For to start the day you see Dm7GCD7G7 And at half-past eleven well my idea of Heaven is a nice cup of tea CCmaj7Dm7G7 I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner CC+FDm And a nice cup of tea with my tea FF#dimCA7 And when it's time for bed there's a lot to be said Dm7G7C For a nice cup of tea
[Verse 3] CGC They say it's not nutritious but still it is delicious Dm7GC And that's all that matters to me EB7EB7 It turns your meat to leather - but let's all die together Dm7D7G7 The one drink in paradise is tea
[Chorus 1] CCmaj7Dm7G7 I like a nice cup of tea in the morning CC+FDm For to start the day you see Dm7GCD7G7 And at half-past eleven well my idea of Heaven is a nice cup of tea CCmaj7Dm7G7 I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner CC+FDm And a nice cup of tea with my tea FF#dimCA7 And when it's time for bed there's a lot to be said Dm7G7C For a nice cup of tea
[Verse 4] CF 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 CF And anyone can have my vote and chuck it in the sea AmD7G7 But by golly there'll be trouble if they try to touch me tea
[Chorus 2] CCmaj7Dm7G7 I like a nice cup of tea in the morning CC+FDm For to start the day you see Dm7GCD7G7 And at half-past eleven well my idea of Heaven is a nice cup of tea CCmaj7Dm7G7 I like a nice cup of tea with my dinner CC+FDm And a nice cup of tea with my tea FF#dimCA7 And when it's getting late almost anything can wait Dm7G7C For a nice cup of tea,
