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
