Tea For Two

Steve Lawrence · Other Songs - Steve Lawrence

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 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?
