Captain Mustard's Tea Party

Verse 1

Captain Mustard poured the china cups

Cream and sugar on a silver tray

The gramophone was spinning dusty songs

While the clock on the mantel slipped away

Pre-Chorus

And the ruffled shirts and the medals gleamed

In the amber light of the afternoon

Chorus

Captain Mustard's tea party

Come along come along if you please

Captain Mustard's tea party

Not a feather out of place in the breeze

Verse 2

The old piano in the parlour room

Had a crooked key and a wobbly stool

But when the Major sang about Hong Kong

Even the stuffed owl looked cool

Pre-Chorus

And the biscuits crumbled on the floor

While the servant smiled and shut the door

Chorus

Captain Mustard's tea party

Come along come along if you please

Captain Mustard's tea party

Not a feather out of place in the breeze

Bridge

Round round round goes the cucumber tray

Faces framed in photographs of yesterday

Tally ho the afternoon has flown

Pockets full of crumbs we call our own

Chorus

Captain Mustard's tea party

Come along come along if you please

Captain Mustard's tea party

Not a feather out of place in the breeze

Breakdown

La la la the kettle whistles low

Skirting board the marching band goes slow

Tally ho tally ho tally ho

Chorus

Captain Mustard's tea party

Come along come along if you please

Captain Mustard's tea party

Not a feather out of place in the breeze
