I'd like to be a Teabag

I'd like to be a Teabag

l'd like to be a teabag,

And stay at home all day -

And talk to other teabags

In a teabag sort of way…

l'd love to be a teabag;

And lie in a little box -

And never have to wash my face

Or change my dirty socks…

l'd like to be a teabag,

An Earl Grey one perhaps,

And doze all day and lie around

With Earl Grey kind of chaps.

l wouldn't have to do a thing,

No homework, jobs or chores -

Comfy in my caddy

Of teabags and their snores.

l wouldn't have to do exams

l needn't tidy rooms,

Or sweep the floor or feed the cat

Or wash up all the spoons.

l wouldn't have to do a thing,

A life of bliss - you see…

Except that once in all my life

I`d make a cup of tea!
