We polished the brass door knocker
And
Swept the front door step
When the Sailor came to tea
We laid the table with our finest cloth
And
We set the table with the prettiest fine bone china
When the Sailor came to tea
We served scones with jam and cream
And
We made sandwiches of all shapes and sizes
When the Sailor came to tea
We invited our relatives from afar
And
We invited our friends too
When the Sailor came to tea
We served Champagne with lots of fizz
And
We served Orange juice too
When the Sailor came to tea
We talked about interesting things of the day
And
We danced to, the beat of the latest music
When the Sailor came to tea
We felt the love in the room
And
We felt the love in our hearts
When the Sailor came to tea
I was delighted to be there
As
You see it had been 4 long years since my brother the Sailor last came to tea
