Man, this video went up five years ago and I'm only just discovering now? Ah, at least I got here and I'm loving it. Pour a double brandy in my tea cup and do play it again, Professor.
What an incredible collab, this is like crack/tea/opium for the ears!!! Try it once and you'll want more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more.....
If ever a rip-roaringly good musical number was deserving of being entitled “The Bee’s Knees,” then by thunder, this would be it! Smashing song and video, all around!
Didn't I see that constable a while ago working in one of those nasty call centre places? Good to see he's found honest employment in a recreation of times gone by. and 500 million points for the line "taking the pith"!!!

"Stop that, Jeffrey, this is a tea shop, not a jazz solo!"
"Taking the pith." Ha! I nearly spit out my tea!
Big up Prof! Was a pleasure working with you and hope to do so again soon! X
Ah thanks so much@Maria Noah ! Yay. Have a grand day! :) xxx
Best collab in history... And im a time traveler, SOOO...
Four years on and this is still utter genius! Miss you all.
Man, this video went up five years ago and I'm only just discovering now? Ah, at least I got here and I'm loving it. Pour a double brandy in my tea cup and do play it again, Professor.
Cracking tune! And remember... whether a tipple or an afternoon tea, life's a party. Celebrate.
Absolutely couldn't agree more. Where are the balloon animal makers??
Simply superb! And thank you for introducing me to The Swinghoppers!
QUICK FIND ME MY PRESCRIPTION TELESCOPING GOOGLES! I MUST MEMORIZE THESE LYRICS FORTHWITH!
Literal bathtub gin!
Prof! That is hot! The flow! Best since fighting trousers.
Good lord that was awesome! I would so love to hang out at that bar .. err I mean perfectly above board tea shop!
heh it's every bit as fun there as it appears. We highlight recommend. And thanks! x
This was awesome! Love this song!
"A copper on the beatbox", excellent! :D
What an incredible collab, this is like crack/tea/opium for the ears!!! Try it once and you'll want more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more, and more.....
Glad to see the Professor is back in class!
Where can I buy some giggle juice?
Thoroughly enjoyed that, I recognise the venue too that great little bar "The Yellow Book Bar"
Was just listening to a ton of you and Mr B on Spotify the last couple days and then this drops, I'm well chuffed!! :D
One of the main drinks in the song is 'giggle water' which in 1930s speak is alcohol. Thats detail if i every saw it
Strong enough to put hair on Geoffrey’s chest? Damn son!
Professor Elemental for World Emperor!!!!!!
I love this collab...those swingy folks are toe tappin' nice.
That was some quite swell beatboxing right there!
Ah, glad you enjoyed Ben. Check out The Swinghoppers or Pye (FKA Pieman on some socials) for more where that came from :)
it was mid
If ever a rip-roaringly good musical number was deserving of being entitled “The Bee’s Knees,” then by thunder, this would be it! Smashing song and video, all around!
Lol, what a swell write up (and username!). Thanks!! x
Can't wait for this to be on an album
Quite delightful, good sir - I feel the sudden compulsion to, er... pop the kettle on... yes, that's it. ^_~
Great work everyone!
To all involved, that was simply marvellous!
Didn't I see that constable a while ago working in one of those nasty call centre places? Good to see he's found honest employment in a recreation of times gone by.
and 500 million points for the line "taking the pith"!!!
Brilliant, truly enjoyable
Professor Elemental? Free download? Forget that- I need to buy the whole thing! You had me at professor, sir!
That Bobby got some sick skills!
THIS IS SOOO COOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!
That was really good, it was fun and catchy, this one's pretty jamming
Absolutely Spiffing.
Love it
Rap along, chaps:
[Intro: Pye & Professor Elemental]
Wha's going on here Elemental?
Just the opening of a new teashop, officer
I know there’s monkey business going on ‘ere
He's an ape, actually, and a damn fine waitress
Care for one of his creamy scones for an afternoon tea?
I don' buy it Elemental (oh)
I know you’re up to some'in' and when I find out what
I'm gonna take you to the cleaners
[Verse 1: Professor Elemental]
Appearances are deceiving
I can prove that seeing shouldn't be believing
You all know the password, sneak in this evening
All will be revealed, something cheeky, indecent
The coast is clear, I'm flicking the switch
With a flick of the wrist, with a click and a twist
Flip the tables, rearrange it like lickety-split
Get a drink, light the lights, now we're hitting it big
Tea room to speakeasy, our mission is this
Switch your fears into dreams and give them a lift
Give them a kiss, whether it's a mister or miss
Have a seat, I insist, now listen to this
My machinery is unbelievable and so’s the scenery
The bar, the stage, the stars, amazing, things you’ve never seen and we
Won't rest until you’re entertained, tipsy or tripping
Bring on the dancing girls, DJ's and the magicians
[Chorus: Sharleena Ray]
Welcome to our tea shop, it's the finest one in town
By day we serve Earl Grey, but when the sun goes down
The revelry's intoxicating, and so is our tea
For we’ve a cellar stocked with spirits (shhh) between you and me
I can read your fortune amongst those ginseng leaves
Just keep our little secret and we can be as thick as thieves
The authorities need never know you're here, so don't you fret
Just come and quench your thirst, we're sure to get your taste buds wet
(Bang, bang, bang) Who is it?
[Verse 2: Offbeat, Professor Elemental, & Pye]
The Swingpin with a special delivery
Coming to you, direct fresh from the distillery
I've got the liquor to refresh ya' guests
So strong that it'll put hairs on Geoffrey's chest
You would never guess this quaint little premises
Could be the scene of such hedonism and decadence
And host the city's most unsavoury residents
Which is why like the Professor, I'm in my Element
But tonight I got more hooch to deliver
Are you sure we can't persuade you to stay for a snifter?
Well I never get high on my own supply
But since it's you Prof, tonight I guess it could differ
(Gulp, cough) Yeah that's got quite a kick
Now I'm in the mood to start misbehaving a bit
Stealing the Prof's hat just to see if it fits
Now that's what I really call taking the pith
Well well well! I knew you were up to something Elemental
And now I've caught you associating with the Swingpin, there's no denying it!
I've got you righ' where I want you
And this time, you're not getting away with it
[Verse 3: Offbeat, Professor Elemental, Sharleena Ray & Pye]
Calm down officer, no need to start with locking up
I understand your job is hard, but stop and have a drop with us
Rum or vodka? Malt or hops? It's all top notch, in stock in the
Bar, come on copper, let's get properly improper
Yeah c'mon officer, just take what the Prof offers ya
And see for yourself why this product is so popular
Besides you'll only be seen by a few folk
We promise that we won't tell anybody if you don't
Greetings officer, how do you do?
Here's one on the house just for you
To your health sir, chin up now, clink clink
You know this is what the big boys drink
Now look here, I will not be tempted
And this dirty dive bar will not be exempted
But before I leave I need a bit more surety
I'll have one sip just to test the purity
(guzzle)
Maybe I've been too hard on this tea shop
I mean everybody needs a way to blow some steam off
And that includes me, so if one crate a week
Was left somewhere discrete we'd have a deal to speak of
Now I really must be off
But before I leave, I got a surprise up my sleeve
You've all seen a cop on the beat
But what I bet you haven't seen is a cop on the beatbox
[Beatbox]
[Chorus: Sharleena Ray & Professor Elemental]
Welcome to our tea shop, it's the finest one in town
By day we serve Earl Grey but, when the sun goes down
The revelry's intoxicating, and so is our tea
For we've a cellar stocked with spirits (shhh) between you and me
I can read your fortune amongst those ginseng leaves (ho, ho!)
Just keep our little secret and we can be as thick as thieves (oh yeah!)
The authorities need never know you're here, so don't you fret
Just come and quench your thirst, we're sure to get your taste buds wet
[Outro: Professor Elemental]
Well I mean, if you think the tea's strong, you should try the cake
I can't feel my face
Fucking legend
Superb, sir, absolutely marvelous. ( insert gleefully positive complimentary commentary here )
Splendid!
Splendid.
Absolutely spiffing as always! You really should do a musical you know!
Utterly bizarre.....I love it! =D
Yes! I've been waiting for this for so long!
Rumour has it that there's a dirty, rotten coffee shop at #28
Glorious!
I always enjoy your music. Great job 👍
Cool
Smashing!
Hi Ben, missing you out in the galaxy. Hope to see you out in Antal space soon.
Get me to this tea shoppe so that I might cut a rug.
"Wow that professor elemental track wasn't catchy at all" --literally nobody ever
You mean that ONE person who dusliked this?
0:24 I thought Barry White was dead!? 🦍
Probably Enprober 😊 🥂
This is so tight and well put-together that's it's almost hypnotizing. Only thing that bothers me is when was there ever prohibition in the UK???
Brillz!
oh hey... wait this is new Elemental? wait.. I'm not subscribed to Elemental? my mind is blowing now.
Copper NAILED that beatbox.
Is there a Professor Elemental album? Love his music and videos.
What??? I like it.
haha, why are you so surprised?! :D
Just speakin my truth
always!
Corking! No, Darjeeling.
Please help bring mic back to righteous
I'll had what the cop had.
soooo the cakes are from colorado hu?
Only one dislike, I guess they couldn't handle the purity.
Fellow Brightonians, anyone know where this was filmed at?
That's hot. I mean, that's hot as f.
Any plans to put this on Spotify?
Why is it that every time I come across a track by Elemental, I have to watch it like 8 times in a row?
Because your an idiot.
Im half British. Hey im American. Also im half Sicilian. I had to say that bc I'm Italian. Why do people in Europe get mad when we say stuff like that. It's how we are deal with it.
Oh I love it!
Wait… maybe stupid question but… is offbeat a part of the swinghoppers?
:)
Can't feel your face, huh? Oh, i know what's in that cake....
you found jeffery?
I think it will be explained soon.... With a new record.
Underneath a cracking suit, it seems
