歌詞

The scone splits open with a sigh

Of soft and steamy white

First cream, then jam — or jam, then cream?

The ancient sweet debate

I settle it the diplomat's way:

Both orders on one plate

The strawberry shines like a jewel

On snowy clotted hills

Spread it thick and bite it slow

The berry meets the cream

Eat the honey, it is good

And so's a berried dream

The lamb has strong opinions here

Expressed in gentle stares

The jury rules: one tiny taste

For woolly questionnaires

A dot of jam on one pink nose

The verdict: more, please, more

Spread it thick and bite it slow

The berry meets the cream

Eat the honey, it is good

And so's a berried dream

Warm scone, cold cream, red summer jam —

Three notes that make one chord

The simplest famous harmony

An afternoon's reward

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Spread it thick and bite it slow

The berry meets the cream

Eat the honey, it is good

And so's a berried dream

Spread it thick and bite it slow

The berry meets the cream

Eat the honey, it is good

And so's a berried dream

The scone is gone, the plate is proud

The chord rings sweet and long
