Grind me like sweet ginger Lord from my roots
Then fry me until my flavours let me go
Add a dash of sugar Lord to the stove
Then watch me as I bubble and caramelise before your eyes (yeah)
Brew me, just like ginger tea
Ooh brew me 'til I'm beigy brown
Brew me, just like ginger tea
Ooh brew me 'til I'm beigy brown
So sieve away, Sieve away
And tell me Lover what you taste in me
Sweetly warm, beautifully born
What d'You taste in me or
Burnt but bitter, taste but litter
Lover how do I taste to You?
Ginger tea, made for three
How I taste is who I be
Just before I burn
Just before I burn
Add a cup of milk and watch me turn
Heat me 'til I'm simmering, about to boil
And throw some tea leaves in like compost soil
Stir me 'til my colours show then bring me to the boil
And I'll watch carefully that I don't spoil
Sieve away, sieve away
All of my impurities Lord just
Fill the cup, fill the cup
With freshly made Ginger me Lord so
Sieve away, sieve away
All of my impurities Lord just
Fill the cup, fill the cup
With freshly made Ginger me Lord and
Brew me, just like ginger tea
Ooh brew me 'til I'm beigy brown
Brew me, just like ginger tea
Ooh brew me 'til I'm beigy brown
