Tea For Two
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
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 you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For me 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
Tea For Two - Bing Crosby
Bing Crosby's 1949 recording of 'Tea For Two' stands as a definitive example of his mastery of the crooner style, blending intimate vocal delivery with a sophisticated swing rhythm. The track exemplifies the era's transition toward more polished, studio-perfected pop standards, showcasing Crosby's ability to convey warmth and sophistication without relying on overt theatricality. As a staple of his discography, the song reflects the mid-century shift in vocal jazz and pop, where the focus moved toward nuanced phrasing and emotional subtlety rather than the raw energy of earlier big band performances. Its enduring appeal lies in its seamless fusion of crooning and swing, making it a timeless piece that defined the sound of American radio for decades.
