Nibbles And Tea

It's now part of the social scene the social in trend That middle class woman should say to her friend Come over to my house for 'nibbles and tea' A posh sort of saying as posh as can be. The social scene has changed and gone is the day When middle class woman to her friend did say Call in anytime do not pass by my gate And I'll boil the kettle be it early or late. To set date and time seems the in thing to do Come over for nibbles on tuesday at two At four there's a meeting that I must attend And later I'll be out for tea with a friend. When invited to a party it is seen as the in thing That your own food and drink you're expected to bring There was a time when the host and the hostess supplied drink and food And now to arrive empty handed would be seen as rude. At two come on tuesday for nibbles and tea A posh sort of saying as posh as can be But nowadays so few of your friends to you say Call in anytime you are passing my way.
