   In the version I sing, which I think is more engaging because it   
   leaves the completion of the chorus line as an exercise for the   
   listeners (bless their bawdy minds), the chorus line is always:   
      
   At night (s)he comes home and drinks tea.   
      
   There is then available a closing verse:   
      
   My wife is an herbalist...   
   All day she drinks tea...   
   And at night she does nothing but pee.
