Tea for Two Lyrics by Roger Rathburn, Susan Watson

No, No, Nanette (New Broadway Cast Recording (1971))

1971

[TOM]
I'm discontented
With homes that are rented
So I have invented my own
Darling, this place is
A lover's oasis
Where's 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 my dreams
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?
[NANETTE]
You are revealing
A scene so appealing
I can't help but feeling for you
I know you planned it
And I understand it
It's yours to command it, please do
All that you say I'm admiring
It's worth desiring
But can't you see
I'd like to wait, dear
For some future date, dear
It won't be too late, dear
For me
Picture me upon your 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, a girl for me
[TOM & NANETTE]
Can't you see
How happy we would be?
