Lyrics
Tea For Two
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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,
On weekend vacations.
We won't have it known, dear,
That we own a telephone, dear...
Day will break and I'll wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take for all the boys to see
We'll raise a family
A boy for you
And a girl for me
Can't you see how happy we would be...
