Not For All the Tea in China
Lyrics
Not for all the tea in China
Not for tickets to the game
Not for lotto winning numbers
Not for fortune and fame

Not for cold beers in the summer sun
Not for a sunset view
Not for green grass on the other side

Priority review
I won't barter for you
You know my love is true

Maybe for world peace I'd consider it
Maybe for God and man
But not for all the tea in China
And they've got a lot of tea in China

Not for Johnny Hartman's baritone
Not for Rhapsody in Blue
Not for one for my baby

Priority review
I won't barter for you
You know my love is true

Maybe for Christmas Day for poor kids
Maybe to cure some bad disease
But not for all the tea in China
Not for all the tea in China
And they've got a lot of tea in China
