Sit with me under the Crepe Myrtle Tree

And have a cup of tea with me

Place a tablecloth on the ground

Come one, come all, come gather around

Come and take in this lovely day

And let it chase all your blues away

Kind sir and madame have tea with me

Right here under the Crepe Myrtle Tree

Come eat of little scrumptious cakes

And sip tea from cups with saucer plates

Strangers come have tea with me

Come sit beneath the Crepe Myrtle Tree

I invite you with an open heart

And share with you my lemon tarts

All are welcome to have tea with me

Underneath the Crepe Myrtle Tree

And I hope when you depart from me

You’d feel like a friend or family
