Average song rating A pleasant Paulsong of the "When I'm 64" or "Honey Pie" variety, but after repeated listenings I have become convinced that this song is actually an in-your-face challenge to Paul's critics to go ahead, roast him over the coals, he no longer has the ability to be stung by the comments from the peanut gallery. Right on, brother! Bruce Beatlefan April 29, 2006

Lyrics

Would you care to sit with me
For a cup of English tea
Very twee, very me
Any sunny morning

What a pleasure it would be
Chatting so delightfully
Nanny bakes, fairy cakes
Every Sunday morning

Miles of miles of English garden, stretching past the willow tree
Lines of holly, hocks and roses, listen most attentively

Do you know the game crochet
That adventure we might play
Very gay, hip hooray
Any sunny morning

[Solo]

Miles of miles of English garden, stretching past the willow tree
Lines of holly, hocks and roses, listen most attentively

As a rule the church bells chime
When it's almost supper time
Nanny bakes, fairy cakes
