Subject: Lyr Add: TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS WITH ME
Here's the first song that I thought of:

From the sheet music at Baylor University or Johns Hopkins University:

TIP-TOE THRU' THE TULIPS WITH ME
Words by Al Dubin, music by Joe Burke, ©1929.
Sung by Nick Lucas in “Gold Diggers of Broadway”

1. Shades of night are creeping.
Willow trees are weeping.
Old folks and babies are sleeping.
Silver stars are gleaming.
All alone I'm scheming,
Scheming to get you out here, my dear.

CHORUS: Come tip-toe to the window.
By the window, that is where I'll be.
Come tip-toe through the tulips with me.
Tip-toe from your pillow
To the shadow of the willow tree,
And tip-toe through the tulips with me.
Knee deep in flowers we'll stray.
We'll keep the showers away;
And if I kiss you in the garden
In the moonlight, will you pardon me?
Come tip-toe through the tulips with me.

2. Come on out and pet me.
Come and “Juliet” me.
Tease me and slyly “coquette” me.
Let me Romeo you.
I just want to show you
How much I'm willing to do for you. CHORUS
