I'm drinkin tea
If it's good enough for me
then it's good enough for you
We can have tea for two
How do you do?

But if you have to leave
Then please leave,
Don't let me keep you
We can have tea another day

Please come back and see me sometime

But if you can't sleep
And you have bad dreams
And if you're bored and not feeling quite right
Head is kind of heavy
Tummy is kind of funny
We can have tea tonight

    General Comment:To me this song is not as simple and innocent as it first seems. 'Tea' is a slang expression for herbal cannabis as well. Song could be innocent or it could be the other way. That's the beauty of a songwriter of Benson's talent..
