Lyrics Tea In Chicago - Eartha Kitt

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
