Lyrics

(Verse) [TOM] 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 [NANETTE] Far from the cry of the city Where flowers pretty Caress the stream [TOM AND NANETTE] Cozy to hide in To live side by side in Don't let it abide in My dream (Chorus) [TOM] Picture you Upon my knee Just tea for two And two for tea Just me for you And you for me Alone [NANETTE] 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 [TOM] Day will break And you'll awake And start to bake A sugar cake For me to take For all the boys to see [TOM AND NANETTE] We will raise a family A boy for you, a girl for me Can't you see how happy we will be
