The Dolls' Tea Party Lyrics - Realism - The Magnetic Fields

At the dolls' tea party. we fritter away 

The long afternoon of a warm summer day 

With extended pinkies and pink cloisonn 

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
