Lyrics: Vincent Youmans/Irving Caesar
Music: Vincent Youmans/Irving Caesar
I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own
Darling this place is a lovers' oasis
Where life's weary chase is unknown
Far from the cry of the city
Where flowers pretty caress the streams
Cosy to hide in
To live side by side in
Don't let it abide in my dreams
Picture you upon my knee
It's tea for two and two for tea
It's me for you and you for me alone
Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations on weekend vacation
We won't have it know dear that we own 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
Can't you see how happy we could be?
Picture you upon my knee
It's tea for two and two for tea
It's me for you and you for me alone
Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations on weekend vacation
We won't have it known dear that we own 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
Can't you see how happy we
Can't you see how happy we
Can't you see how happy we could be?
