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 

 
           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 

 
           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 


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