The Dolls’ Tea Party Songtext
von The Magnetic Fields

At the dolls′ tea party. we fritter away
The long afternoon of a warm summer day
With extended pinkies and pink cloisonné
Cups and saucers and pots and a liberty tray

That's why we take our tea at the dolls′ tea party

At the dolls' tea party, we twitter along
We prattle and tattle on who's done who wrong
On who′s thin, who′s out and who's best at Mahjong
Oh and where to buy fabulous things for a song


That′s why we take our tea at the dolls' tea party

But the cakes are, the cakes are why everyone′s there
They're not diabetic in any way there
Try one and you′ll have a few pounds to spare
Try another one, what do you care?

At the dolls' we're all in our glittering best
There will be a test on who′s best and worst dressed
But we won′t have it said we're fashion obsessed
We′re just prettier ladies than most of the rest

That's why we take our tea at the dolls′ tea party
