(Ray Davies) Lift yourself out of the doldrums Make yourself a cuppa tea Drag your emotions out of the gutter Don't wallow in self pity When you wake up, all of a fluster Thinking life has passed you by Give yourself a kick up the backside Jump out of bed and punch the sky Is there life after breakfast Full of possibilities Is there life after breakfast? Yes there is, after breakfast So don't live in agony Is there life after breakfast? Yes there is, after breakfast Cheer up some, put on the kettle There's no point in being down[?] Make your mind up, try to forget her Boil the tea and I'll be [?] Is there life after breakfast? Yes there is, after breakfast So don't live in agony Is there life after breakfast? Yes there is, after breakfast After breakfast Life after breakfast After breakfast Just because all of the plumbing Isn't all it used to be Turn the tap, see, a little bit's coming That must make you feel relieved Don't turn into a total embarrassment To your friends and family Get out of bed, the whole day's ahead So take the pills and drink your tea Is there life after breakfast Full of possibilities Is there life after breakfast? Yes there is, after breakfast So don't be so depressive Is there life after breakfast? Yes there is, after breakfast Is there life after breakfast Full of possibilities Is there life after breakfast? Yes there is, after breakfast Is there life after breakfast? Is there life after breakfast? Put the kettle on, mate
