Magnetic Fields The Dolls' Tea Party
At the doll’s tea party We fritter away
The long afternoon of a long summer day.
With extended pinkies and pink cloisonné,
Cup and saucers and pots and a Liberty tray.
That’s why we take our tea
At the doll’s tea party.
At the doll’s tea party we twitter along.
We prattle and tattle
On who’s done whom wrong
On who’s in, who’s out, and who’s best at mahjong
Oh and where to buy fabulous things for a song
That’s why we take our tea
At the doll’s tea party
But the cakes! Ah the cakes are why everyone’s there,
They’re not dietetic in any way.
Dare to try one and you’ll
Have a few pounds to spare
Try another one, what do you care?
At the Doll’s we’re all at our glittering best.
There will be a test
On who’s best and worst dressed.
But we won’t have it said
We’re fashion obsessed,
We’re just prettier ladies than most of the rest.
That’s why we take our tea
At the doll’s tea party.
