Tiptoe Through The Tulips - Tiny Tim


-snip-

Here's an excerpt from the website where I found the Nick Lucas words to Tiptoe Through The Tulips:

"'Tip-Toe Through the Tulips' - 1929 ditty popularized by singer Tiny Tim in the 1960s. Tiny Tim (showbiz pseudonym for Herbert Buckingham Khaury) was a camp, falsetto singer who became a celebrity "oddity" in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He wore long, straggly hair and accompanied himself with a ukulele. Tiny Tim sang "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" on a variety of TV programs and nightclub engagements with a voice that was so high he could call the neighborhood dogs. Surprisingly, the song reached No.17 on the pop charts."...
