The table was set all nice and neat
We sat and could not play
My mother took another aspirin
Hoping her headache would go away
The water was boiling
The food was all spoiling
Waiting for tea with Granny
The tea turned into soda pop
We were forbidden to drink it
The sandwiches turned into cakes
I snuck one I have to admit
Our mother was crying
"Don't laugh." We were trying
At the beginning of tea with Granny
When the cooking pot began to sing
And the kettle began to shout
We got up and danced with the chairs
But my poor mother passed out
Our windows just stared
The bookcase was scared
In the middle of tea with Granny
The beds were out in the yard
The chairs danced all around
We all chased after the cups
As they tried to hide underground
My mother was yelling
Granny, fortune telling
At the end of tea with Granny
Granny put all the stuff back
Even the messes we kids had made
We were inspired by her tricks
Her mischief will never fade
We'll remember this party
"Come back!" we yelled heartily
'Cuz we're anxious for tea with Granny
