Bilingual
I have waited five years
And today is the day
I have spared no expense
All that stands in my way
Is a tiny little cottage
With a tiny little table
Filled with tiny
Finger sandwiches
I am not okay
ย
Only four hours left
And there's too much to do
I don't know what to wear
What to say, how to stand
When she's standing inside the foyer
Of a tiny little cottage
At a tiny little table
Filled with tiny finger sandwiches
Haha, drown me in the bay!
Mr. Gatsby?
It's seven o'clock in the morning
Today's the day!
Have you got everything you need
In the shape of... of tea?
Ah, I picked up, uh, some lemon cakes at Finn's
At what?
It's a... it's a delicatessen
I hope that's okay?
Yes, of course, of course
They're fine
Old sport
Paper says the rain should pass by
A quick summer storm
Maybe there'll be a rainbow
This is an omen, we need to cancel the whole thing!
It is tea
It's only tea
No need for such commotion
Soon you'll be
Laughin', reminiscin'
You will see
It is tea
It's only tea
I'm gonna walk into the ocean
You're gonna go and put your feet up
And leave it all to me
Of course, you're right
I'll just go get changed and-
Well, I didn't want to be a bother
So I picked up a few tea things
I'll bring those on by
And some shrubbery
And remember
It's only tea!
Put the oysters on ice (Oh-oh)
Cut the lilacs and cake (Oh-oh)
(Shuck the oysters)
(Cut the cake)
Bring them over at once (Oh-oh)
This is all make or break (Oh-oh)
(Bring them over)
(Make or break)
It's a simple chance encounter
At a simple little table
Filled with simple little sandwiches
(Simple)
This is a mistake
(It's time for tea)
(It's time for tea)
Is it pinstripe or plaid?
Is it two-piece or three?
(Pinstripe, plaid)
(What does he need?)
Is it olive or Orval or brown? (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I want carefree and fun (Oh-oh)
But not rodeo clown! (Oh-oh!)
She should know that I mean business
But I'm also being casual
With teeny-tiny sandwiches
I should go lie down
(Itty-bitty, teeny-tiny)
(Scrummy-yummy sandwiches!)
It is tea
It's only tea (Ah-ah-ah)
It's not so complicated
(It's not too complicated)
Soon we'll be
Sittin', sippin'
Lost in memory
It is tea, ha! (Lost in memory)
It's only tea
It's just been elevated
(And not premeditated)
With a pleasant bit of serendipity
Will she see I've made my world (Ah-ah-ah)
In the image of her dreams?
The closer that I get (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
The farther that she seems
But there is no too much (Ah-ah-ah)
There is no too far (Ah)
There is only tea (Ah-ah-ah)
And a rewrite of the stars! (Rewrite of the stars!)
How do I look?
Perfectly tailored
Too tailored?
I told them to keep it casual!
It is tea
It's only tea (Ah-ah-ah)
No need for ostentation
A little decoration
Soon you'll be
Laughin', reminiscin'
You will see
It is tea (It is)
It is tea (Only tea)
I'm going home!
It's only-
Wait, what was that?
Daisy isn't coming
I am going
Thanks for helping!
But I cannot wait all day
Wait!
She is late (Oh-oh)
So I'm off (Oh-oh)
To go scream in a jar!
She's not late, Gatsby (Oh-oh)
Stay where you are! (Oh-oh)
In a tiny little cabin (Tea!)
Where I'm quickly going manic (Tea!)
A tiny little cabin (Tea!)
This is not the time to panic (Tea!)
A tiny little cabin
In the hull of the Titanic
There's the car!
(It's time for tea!)
Gastby?
