Текст песни The Dolls' Tea Party (The Magnetic Fields) с переводом

At the dolls' tea party

We fritter away

The long afternoon

of a warm summer day

With extended pinkies and pink cloisonne

Cups and saucers and pots

And a liberty tray

That’s why we take our tea

At the dolls' tea party

At the dolls' tea party

We twitter along

We prattle and tattle

On who’s done who wrong

On who’s thin

Who’s out

And who’s best at mah jong

Oh and where to buy fabulous things for a song

That’s why we take our tea

At the dolls' tea party

But the cakes are the cakes, are why everyone’s there

They’re not diatetic in any way there

Try one and you’ll have a few pounds to spare

Try another one; what do you care?

At the dolls', we’re all in our glittering best

There will be a test on who’s best and worst dressed

But we won’t have it said we’re fashion obsessed

We’re just prettier ladies than most of the rest

That’s why we take our tea

At the dolls' tea party
