Lyrics Tea in Chicago - Eartha Kitt

Tea in Chicago

Even if I had my choice
Of living high someplace like Paris, France
Or being socially invited
Down to a most inclusive Memphis dance
I’d take my place along the sidelines
And that I’d wait 'till I had got the nerve
To catch a train to the north
And when I landed, start right in to serve
Tea in Chicago
What an elegant place for tea
Me in Chicago
Stirring up quite a cup, I’ll be
Such a lady, when I pour
At 5 o’clock, when they knock on my door
For tea in Chicago
It’s not very much to wish
When it’s really just my dish of tea
I’ll have all eyes a poppin' when I ball the jack
All the way from, down state and back
I’ll hypnotize the group, until they give that look to me
For tea in Chicago
It’s a dream that’s turned my head
I’ve never seen it, only read
But there’s nothing else instead for me
But Chicago just for tea
I’ll have all eyes a poppin' when I ball the jack
All the way from, down state and back
I’ll hypnotize the group, until they give that look to me
For tea in Chicago
It’s a dream that’s turned my head
I’ve never seen it, only read
But there’s nothing else instead for me
But Chicago just for tea
