La Canción Del Te
María Elena Walsh
The Tea Song
We are invited to have tea
The teapot is made of porcelain
But it's not visible
I don't know why
The milk is cold
And I will warm it up
I'll put on my own overcoat
Long down to the feet
I don't know why
Be careful when you drink
Your nose will fall
Into the cup
And that's not right
I don't know why
Behind a toast
The honey hid
The butter very angry
Scolded her in English
I don't know why
Tomorrow they will arrest him
A colonel
For poking the jam
With a pin
I don't know why
It seems that the sugar
Was always black
And from a scare turned white
Just as you see it
I don't know why
A timid plate
Got married the day before yesterday
To his wife the coffee pot
He addresses her formally
I don't know why
The poor strainers
Are very thirsty
Because the water keeps escaping
Every now and then
I don't know why
