Songtexte Tea Bag Blues - Billy Bragg

Well, it′s awful cold outside
I'm cold at home tonight
Walkin′ up an' down by my poor self
God you know this just ain't right
Gonna boil myself a tea bag
Gonna boil myself a tea bag
And if you moze over my way
I will boil you off a tea bag, too
Well I′ve come from Oklahoma
Where the dust and gravel blow
I′ve got gals with booseleg rotgut
But man I never did learn to know
Just how to boil me off a tea bag
How to simmer up a tea bag
And if you'll ease over my way
I will boil you off a tea bag, too
I rode the trains and the busses
I rode the roads I rose the blinds
Hit every kind of bag and satchel
I used every bait I could find
Never did think about no tea bag
Never did see no tea bag
But if you′ll ooze over closer
Yes, I'll boil you off a tea bag too
Yes I will
I′ve used beer, and wine, and coffee
Buttermilk, sodie, and rum
And I've rolled them every color
Seen them go before they come
Learnin′ how to use a tea bag
How to dip a tea bag
If you'll sneak over my way
I'm gonna strain your little tea bag, too
Yeah baby, that′s a promise
Learnin′ how to dip my tea bag
How to soak up my tea bag
And I'm up north in New York City
Singin′ my lonesome tea bag blues
