Only Tea Lyrics by Jeremy Jordan

0

GATSBY:
I have waited 5 years and today is the day...
I have spared no expense
All that stands in my way....
Is a tiny little cottage
With a tiny little table
Filled with tiny finger sandwiches...
I am not okay....
Only 4 hours left and there's too much to do
I don’t know what to wear
What to say how to stand
When I'm standing inside the foyer!
Of a tiny little cottage
With a tiny little table
Filled with tiny finger sandwiches!
Drown me in the bay...
NICK:
(spoken) Mr. Gatsby? It's seven o’clock in the morning!
JAY:
(spoken) Today's the DAY! Have you got everything you need in thе shape of... of tea?
NICK:
(spoken) Haha! I pickеd up some, uh, some lemon cakes... at Finn's
GATSBY:
(spoken) At what?
NICK:
(spoken) It's a... it's a delicatessen. I hope that's okay
GATBSY:
(spoken) Yes, of course, of course. They're fine... old sport
[LIGHTNING SOUND]
GATSBY:
(spoken) Paper says the rain should pass by
NICK:
(spoken) A quick summer storm. Maybe there'll be a rainbow?
GATSBY:
(spoken) This is an omen! We need to cancel the whole thing!
NICK:
(sung) It is tea, it’s only tea!
No need for such commotion!
Soon you’ll be laughing
Reminiscing you will see!
It is tea!
(spoken) Yeah
(sung) It's only tea!
JAY:
I’m gonna walk into the ocean!
NICK:
(spoken) No
(sung) You're gonna put your feet up
And leave it all to me!
JAY:
(spoken) Of course, you're right! I'll just go get changed. I didn’t want to be a bother so I brought a few 'tea' things. I'll bring those on by. And some shrubbery!
NICK:
(spoken) And remember, it's only tea!
GATSBY:
Put the oysters on ice!
Cut the lilacs and cake!
ENSEMBLE:
Ice the oysters!
Cut the cake!
GATSBY:
Bring them over at once!
This is all make or break!
ENSEMBLE:
???
GATSBY:
It's a simple chance encounter
A simple little table
With the simple little sandwiches!
This is a mistake!
ENSEMBLE:
It's time for tea
It's time for tea!
GATSBY:
Is it pinstripe or plaid?
Is it 2 peice or 3?
ENSEMBLE:
????? What does he need?
GATSBY:
?????
I want carefree and fun
But not rodeo clown
She should know that I mean business
While I'm also being casual
With teeny tiny sandwiches!
I should go lie down!
ENSEMBLE:
Itsy bitsy teeny tiny
Scrummy yummy sandwiches!
GATSBY:
It is tea, it's only tea!
It is not so complicated!
ENSEMBLE:
It's not too complicated!
GATBY:
Soon we'll be sipping simply lost in memory!
It is tea, oh!
It's only tea!
It's just been elevated!
ENSEMBLE:
And not premeditated!
GATSBY:
Oh, what a pleasant bit of serendipity
Will she see I've made my world
In the image of her dreams?
The closer that I' get
The farther that she seems!
But there is no too much!
There is no too far!
There is only tea
And the rewrite of the stars!
GATSBY:
(spoken) How do I look?
NICK:
(spoken) Perfectly tailored!
GATSBY:
(spoken) Too tailored? I told them to keep it casual!
GATSBY with ENSEMBLE:
It is tea, it's only tea!
NICK:
No need for ostentation!
GATSBY:
A Little deseration!
NICK:
You'll be laughing
Reminiscing you will see!
NICK and ENSEMBLE:
It is tea, it is tea!
GATSBY:
(spoken) I'm going home!
NICK:
It's only t-
(spoken) Wait what was that?!
GATSBY:
Daisy isn't coming, I am going!
Thanks for helping
But I cannot wait all day!
NICK:
Ay!
GATSBY:
She is late
So I'm off to go scream in a jar!
NICK:
She is not late
Gatsby stay where you are!
GATSBY:
In a tiny little cabin
Where I'm slowly going manic!
A tiny little cabin!
NICK:
This is not the time to panic!
GATSBY:
A tiny little cabin
In the hull of the Titanic!
NICK:
There's the car!
ENSEMBLE:
It's time for tea!
NICK:
(spoken) Gatsby?
