Tea for Two
[Verse]
- I'm discontented with homes that are rented so I have invented my own.
- Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's weary chase is unknown.
- Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty caress the streams,
- Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in. Don't let it abide in my dreams.
[Chorus]
- Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
- Just me for you and you for me, alone!
- Nobody near us, to see us or hear us,
- No friends or relations on weekend vacations,
- We won't have it known, dear, that we have a telephone, dear.
- Day will break and you'll awake and start to bake
- A sugar cake for me to take for all the boys to see.
- We will raise a family, a boy for you, a girl for me,
- Oh, can't you see how happy life would be?
