I have waited five years

And today is the day

I have spared no expense

All that stands in my way

Is a tiny little cottage

With a tiny little table

Filled with tiny

Finger sandwiches

I am not okay

Only four hours left

And there's too much to do

I don't know what to wear

What to say, how to stand

When she's standing inside the foyer

Of a tiny little cottage

At a tiny little table

Filled with tiny finger sandwiches

Haha, drown me in the bay!

Mr. Gatsby?

It's seven o'clock in the morning

Today's the day!

Have you got everything you need

In the shape of... of tea?

Ah, I picked up, uh, some lemon cakes at Finn's

At what?

It's a... it's a delicatessen

I hope that's okay?

Yes, of course, of course

They're fine

Old sport

Paper says the rain should pass by

A quick summer storm

Maybe there'll be a rainbow

This is an omen, we need to cancel the whole thing!

It is tea

It's only tea

No need for such commotion

Soon you'll be

Laughin', reminiscin'

You will see

It is tea

It's only tea

I'm gonna walk into the ocean

You're gonna go and put your feet up

And leave it all to me

Of course, you're right

I'll just go get changed and-

Well, I didn't want to be a bother

So I picked up a few tea things

I'll bring those on by

And some shrubbery

And remember

It's only tea!

Put the oysters on ice (Oh-oh)

Cut the lilacs and cake (Oh-oh)

(Shuck the oysters)

(Cut the cake)

Bring them over at once (Oh-oh)

This is all make or break (Oh-oh)

(Bring them over)

(Make or break)

It's a simple chance encounter

At a simple little table

Filled with simple little sandwiches

(Simple)

This is a mistake

(It's time for tea)

(It's time for tea)

Is it pinstripe or plaid?

Is it two-piece or three?

(Pinstripe, plaid)

(What does he need?)

Is it olive or Orval or brown? (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

I want carefree and fun (Oh-oh)

But not rodeo clown! (Oh-oh!)

She should know that I mean business

But I'm also being casual

With teeny-tiny sandwiches

I should go lie down

(Itty-bitty, teeny-tiny)

(Scrummy-yummy sandwiches!)

It is tea

It's only tea (Ah-ah-ah)

It's not so complicated

(It's not too complicated)

Soon we'll be

Sittin', sippin'

Lost in memory

It is tea, ha! (Lost in memory)

It's only tea

It's just been elevated

(And not premeditated)

With a pleasant bit of serendipity

Will she see I've made my world (Ah-ah-ah)

In the image of her dreams?

The closer that I get (Ah-ah-ah-ah)

The farther that she seems

But there is no too much (Ah-ah-ah)

There is no too far (Ah)

There is only tea (Ah-ah-ah)

And a rewrite of the stars! (Rewrite of the stars!)

How do I look?

Perfectly tailored

Too tailored?

I told them to keep it casual!

It is tea

It's only tea (Ah-ah-ah)

No need for ostentation

A little decoration

Soon you'll be

Laughin', reminiscin'

You will see

It is tea (It is)

It is tea (Only tea)

I'm going home!

It's only-

Wait, what was that?

Daisy isn't coming

I am going

Thanks for helping!

But I cannot wait all day

Wait!

She is late (Oh-oh)

So I'm off (Oh-oh)

To go scream in a jar!

She's not late, Gatsby (Oh-oh)

Stay where you are! (Oh-oh)

In a tiny little cabin (Tea!)

Where I'm quickly going manic (Tea!)

A tiny little cabin (Tea!)

This is not the time to panic (Tea!)

A tiny little cabin

In the hull of the Titanic

There's the car!

(It's time for tea!)

Gastby?
