Lyrics

Tea Towel

It's my turn to dry the plates

I look for a tea towel

Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl

Ti-towl

Ti-towl Ti-towl

There's a brand new one

Hanging off the handle of the oven

So I take it off the oven and I start to rub the moisture

From the surface of the plate

Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl

Ti-towl

Ti-towl Ti-towl

Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl

Ti-towl

Ti-towl Ti-towl

Oh, but it isn't absorbing any moisture

In fact - it's just pushing all the moisture round the plate I may as well be using hessian

It is the least absorbent tea towel That anyone has ever seen

It's like they coated in plastic Whudufuh?

Unabsorbent tea towel, Unabsorbent tea towel

Unabsorbent tea towel, Unabsorbent tea towel

Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl

Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl

Wet plates in a teetery stack

I wish we had the old tea towel back

Mopping sopping crockery used to take a jiffy

Now even a spoon takes up most of your liffy

But somebody used the old tea towel

To clean up their bicycle

Which isn't nice, or cool

I hate new…

Unabsorbent towel, Unabsorbent towel

Unabsorbent towel, Unabsorbent towel

Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl

Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl, Ti-towl
