Tea for Two

Tea for Two - Carmen McRae

I'm discontented with homes that I've rented

So I have invented my own

Darling this place is lovely oasis

Where life's weary taste is unknown

Far from the crowded of the city

Where flowers pretty caress the stream

Cozy to hide in to live side by side in

Don't let it apart in I dream

Picture me 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 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
