Canción de tomar el te [English translation]

We're invited to drink tea

The teapot is of porcelain

but it's not seen.

I don't know why.

The milk is cold

and I'll keep it warm,

I'll put it one of my coats

long till the feet.

I don't know why.

Be careful when you drink,

It could fall

the nose in the cup

and that isn't good.

I don't know why.

Behind a toast

honey hid.

The butter very angry

reprimanded it in english.

I don't know why.

Tomorrow they'll take to jail

a colonel

for poking the marmalade

with a pin.

I don't know why.

It seem that the sugar

was always black

and with a scare it turned white

as you see it.

I don't know why.

A prudish dish

married the day before yesterday,

His wife the coffee maker

He treats her as "usted"

I don't know why.

The poor strainers

are very thirsty

because the water slips away

everytime

I don't know why.
