TEA FOR TWO
Words by Irving Caesar, music by Vincent Youmans
From the musical "No, No, Nanette" ©1925.
As recorded by Marion Harris.

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,
Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in.
Don't let it abide in my dreams.

Picture me upon your 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 own a telephone, dear.
Day will break and I'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you 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 we would be?
