Tea For Two (06-01-50) - Johnny Hodges

I’m discontented with homes that are rented

So I have invented my own

Darling, this place is a lover’s oasis

Where lights where we chase is unknown

Far from the cry of the city

Where flowers pretty caress the stream

Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in

Don’t let it abide in my dream

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

Or weekend vacations

We won’t have it known, dear

That we own a telephone, dear

They will brake 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 and a girl for me

Can’t you see how happy we will be?
