Only Tea Video (MV)

[GATSBY]
I have waited five years and today is the day
I have spared no expense, all that stands in my way
Is a tiny little cottage with a tiny little table
Filled with tiny finger sandwiches

(spoken)
I am not okay

(sung)
Only four hours left and there's too much to do
I don't know what to wear, what to say, how to stand when she's standing inside the foyer
Of a tiny little cottage, at a tiny little table
Filled with tiny finger sandwiches, drown me in the bay

[NICK, spoken]
Mr. Gatsby? It's 7 o'clock in the morning

[GATSBY, spoken]
Today's the day!
Have you got everything you need
In the shapе of- of tea?

[NICK, spoken]
I picked up some lеmon cakes at Finn's

[GATSBY, spoken]
At what?

[NICK, spoken]
It's a delicatessen, I hope that's okay

[GATSBY, spoken]
Yes, of course, of course, they're fine
Old sport
Paper says the rain should pass by

[NICK, spoken]
A quick summer storm. Maybe there'll be a rainbow!

[GATSBY, spoken]
This is an omen! We need to cancel the whole thing!

[NICK]
It is tea, it's only tea
No need for such commotion
Soon you'll be laughin', reminiscin', you will see
It is tea, it's only tea

[GATSBY]
I'm gonna walk into the ocean
[NICK]
You're gonna go and put your feet up
And leave it all to me

[GATSBY, spoken]
Of course, you're right. I'll just go get changed and-
Well, I didn't want to be a bother, so I picked up a few tea things
I'll bring those on by. And some shrubbery

[NICK, spoken]
And remember, it's only tea

[GATSBY]
Put the oysters on ice (Oh, oh)
Cut the lilacs and cake (Oh, oh)

[ENSEMBLE]
Shuck the oysters
Cut the cake

[GATSBY]
Bring them over at once (Oh, Oh)
This is all make or break (Oh, oh)

[ENSEMBLE]
Bring them over
Make or break

[GATSBY]
It's a

[GATSBY & ENSEMBLE]
Simple

[GATSBY]
Chance encounter at a

[GATSBY & ENSEMBLE]
Simple

[GATSBY]
Little table
Filled with

[GATSBY & ENSEMBLE]
Simple

[GATSBY]
Little sandwiches (Simple)

(spoken)
This is a mistake

[ENSEMBLE]
It's time for tea
It's time for tea

[GATSBY]
Is it pinstripe or plaid?
Is it two-piece or three?

[ENSEMBLE]
Pin or plaid, what does he need?

[GATSBY]
Is it olive or Orval or brown? (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I want carefree and fun (Oh, oh)
But not rodeo clown (Oh, oh)
She should know that I mean business
While I'm also being casual
With teeny-tiny sandwiches

(spoken)
I should go lie down

[ENSEMBLE]
Easy-peasy, teeny-tiny
Scrummy-yummy
Sandwiches!

[GATSBY]
It is tea, it's only tea

[ENSEMBLE]
Ah-ah-ah-ah

[GATSBY]
It's not so complicated

[ENSEMBLE]
It's not too complicated at all

[GATSBY]
Soon we'll be sittin', sippin', lost in memory

[ENSEMBLE]
Lost in memory

[GATSBY]
It is tea, it's only tea
It's just been elevated

[ENSEMBLE]
And not premeditated

[GATSBY]
Oh, what a pleasant bit of serendipity

Will she see I've made my world (Ah-ah-ah)
In the image of her dreams?
The closer that I get (Ahh-ah-ah)
The farther that she seems
But there is no too much (Ah-ah-ah)
There is no too far
There is only tea (Ah-ah)
And the rewrite of the stars

[ENSEMBLE]
Rewrite the stars

[GATSBY, spoken]
How do I look?

[NICK, spoken]
Perfectly tailored

[GATSBY, spoken]
Too tailored? I told them to keep it casual!

[GATSBY, NICK, & ENSEMBLE]
It is tea, it's only tea

[NICK]
No need for ostentation (Ah-ah-ah)

[GATSBY]
A little decoration

[NICK]
Soon you'll be laughin, reminiscin', you will see

[ENSEMBLE]
It is only tea

[GATSBY & NICK]
It is tea, it is tea

[GATSBY, spoken]
I'm going home

[NICK, spoken]
It's only-, wait what was that?

[GATSBY]
Daisy isn't coming, I am going, thanks for helping
But I cannot wait all day

[NICK]
Wait!

[GATSBY]
She is late (Oh, oh)
So I'm off to go scream in a jar (Oh, oh)

[NICK, spoken]
She's not late, Gatsby, stay where you are!

[GATSBY]
In a tiny little cabin (Tea!)
Where I'm currently going manic (Tea!)
A tiny little cabin (Tea!)

[NICK, spoken]
This is not the time to panic

[GATSBY]
A tiny little cabin
In the hull of the Titanic

[NICK]
There's the car

[ENSEMBLE]
It's time for tea

[NICK, spoken]
Gatsby?
