TEA FOR TWO
CARMEN MCRAE
I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own
Darling, this place is a lover's 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 our dreams
Picture me upon your knee (I like that!)
Just tea for two and two for tea (ah-huh?)
Just me for you and you for me alone
Carmen, there'll be 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 and a girl for me
Can't you see how happy we would be?
