[Verse 1]
       B                    E       F#
At the dolls' tea party, we fritter away
    B                   E           F#
The long afternoon of a warm summer day
       B                  E           F#
With extended pinkies and pink cloisonne
         B           F#         B       F#
Cups and saucers and pots and a Liberty tray


[Chorus]
           B             E  F#
That's why we take our tea
       B               E   F#
At the dolls' tea party

[Verse 2]
       B                   E        F#
At the dolls' tea party we twitter along
   B                     E               F#
We prattle and tattle on who's done whom wrong
         B                        E          F#
On who's in, who's out, and who's best at mahjongg
        G#m          B/D#     Bm/D         F#/C#
Oh, and where to buy fabulous things for a song


[Chorus]
           B             E  F#
That's why we take our tea
       B               E   F#
At the dolls' tea party


[Bridge]
        G
But the cakes!
                      D
Ah, the cakes are why everyone's there
        C               F#/C#
They're not dietetic in any way
        B                         E             B
Dare to try one and you'll have a few pounds to spare
     E
Try another one
Esus2       G    F#
What do you care?


[Verse 3]
       B                        E          F#
At the dolls', we're all in our glittering best
      B         F#            B              F#
There will be a test on who's best and worst dressed
       B                        E        F#
But we won't have it said we're fashion obsessed
           G#m      B/D#        Bm/D        F#/C#
We're just prettier ladies than most of the rest


[Chorus]
           B             E  F#
That's why we take our tea
       B               E   F#   B
At the dolls' tea party
