But of course
Two sugars please
Pass the kettle
Simmer, simmer
Drop of honey
Soak the leaves
Another cup my dear
Two sugars please
Pass the kettle
Simmer, simmer
Drop of honey
Soak the leaves
Miss Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
What a wonderful tea party
It's nice to get away
From the husband and the kids for a little while
Miss Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
You're as kind as the weather we're having
Let's fill our cups with harmless chitter chatter,
What's the matter with people these days
The bible shall act as our trench coat
We all have a secret to hide
Spit your tea and turn your head
Away from the lunatic
Spit your tea and turn your head
Away from the lunatic
Spit your tea and turn your head
Away from the lunatic
Spit your tea and turn your head
Away from the lunatic
The bible shall act as our trench coat
We all have a secret to hide
Another cup my dear
But of course
Two sugars please
Pass the kettle
Simmer, simmer
Drop of honey
Soak the leaves
Another cup my dear
But of course
Two sugars please
Pass the kettle
Simmer, simmer
Drop of honey
Soak the leaves
Spit your tea and turn your head
Away from the lunatic
Spit your tea and turn your head
Away from the lunatic
Spit your tea and turn your head
Away from the lunatic
Spit your tea and turn your head
Away from the lunatic
The song "Party" by Robert Britton Lyons and Company features a group of women enjoying a tea party, away from the stresses of their lives. The lyrics tell of Miss Ruby, the hostess, providing another cup of tea to her guests and engaging in small talk. The phrase "spit your tea and turn your head away from the lunatic" suggests that there may be someone or something causing disturbance, and the guests must turn their attention away from it.
The song seems to evoke a sense of escapism, highlighting the importance of taking a break from one's responsibilities and enjoying the company of others. The use of tea, the bible, and harmless chitter chatter suggest a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, in which the guests can momentarily forget about their troubles. However, the phrase "We all have a secret to hide" shows that even in moments of relaxation, people may still be holding on to secrets and burdens.
There are multiple interpretations that can be drawn from the lyrics of "Party". It may be interpreted as a satirical commentary on society's expectations of women to be perfect homemakers, or a melancholic reflection on the struggle of balancing personal life and responsibilities. Nonetheless, the song presents an interesting and provoking narrative that invites listeners to reflect and draw their conclusions.

@@Perry_Winkle That's the segment of the Video where they showed her tearing up a picture of the Pope on SNL.
The problem with that - was that no one had any idea why she was tearing up a picture of the Pope.
One of the things that happens to you if you say something that sets a lot of people (or even one) off emotionally - is that from that moment on - the people you are dealing with are in Broadcast Only Mode. That is - they are so busy screaming at you that they are not listening to anything you say.
Another example of this would be John Lennon's remark that the Beatles were more popular than Christ. Here - he hadn't thought that was a good thing - but - people chose to think he was bragging - and no one was listening to his attempt to explain what he meant.
Now here - another factor in things like this - is you have people pushing an Agenda of some kind - who are taking advantage of the situation to push that agenda - without regard to the actual facts of the situation. They don't care about the facts - they only care about pushing their Agenda - and you have a lot of that.
