Tea For Two
Connee Boswell & Bing Crosby Lyrics

The lyrics to Connee Boswell & Bing Crosby’s song “Tea for Two” is a love song, which describes a perfect moment shared between two people who love each other. The first four lines, “Picture you upon my knee, Just tea for two, And two for tea, Just me for you” expresses the desire of wanting to be with the other person, sharing a special moment while enjoying tea together. The singer wants to be alone with his love, with no distractions from anyone else.

The lyrics depict a scenario where the two are enjoying each other’s company, without having to worry about anyone else’s opinions. “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” emphasizes the need for privacy and seclusion from the outside world, and the desire to keep their love affair quiet.

As the song progresses, the lyrics describe the couple's future together, “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.” It shows the dreams of the future for the couple, where they imagine the life they would have together, raising a family, a boy for the woman, and a girl for the man. The lyrics evoke the feeling of happiness and joy, which the couple would experience when they start building their lives together.
