Seventeen Cups Lyrics by Kaiser Chiefs
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Have a cup of tea to pass the time
It doesn't pass enough so I have nine
And everything to do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And it's 'cause secretly I know
I'll be home soon
But that's true

Have another cup to celebrate
It doesn't cheer me up so I have eight
Put my stuff in the washing machine
And you know when it goes in dirty
It comes out clean
There's not much on the TV this afternoon
Except Boone

In my room there's not a lot to do
So if I let you in please don't touch anything
And in my room there isn't much to do
So if I let you in
Don't touch a thing

And everything to do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And you know nothing in this world compares to you
And there is nothing left for you outside this room

And it's like everything you do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And you know nothing in this world compares to you
And there is nothing left for you outside this room

La la la, la la la la la, la la la...
Have a cup of tea to pass the time   It doesn't pass enough so I have nine   And everything to do is done for you   And there is nothing left for me outside this room   And it's 'cause secretly I know   I'll be home soon   But that's true      Have another cup to celebrate   It doesn't cheer me up so I have eight   Put my stuff in the washing machine   And you know when it goes in dirty   It comes out clean   There's not much on the TV this afternoon   Except Boone      In my room there's not a lot to do   So if I let you in please don't touch anything   And in my room there isn't much to do   So if I let you in   Don't touch a thing      And everything to do is done for you   And there is nothing left for me outside this room   And you know nothing in this world compares to you   And there is nothing left for you outside this room      And it's like everything you do is done for you   And there is nothing left for me outside this room   And you know nothing in this world compares to you   And there is nothing left for you outside this room      La la la, la la la la la, la la la...
