Tea for Two
Davis Lew and his Orchestra Lyrics

I'm discontented with homes that are rented so I have invented my own.
I am unhappy with living in rented houses, so I decided to create and design my own home.

Darling this place is a lover's oasis where life's weary chase is unknown.
My darling, this place is a paradise for lovers where the tiresome pursuit of life is non-existent.

Far from the cry of the city, where flowers pretty caress the streams,
Away from the noises of the city, where the beautiful flowers gently touch the streams.

Cozy to hide in, to love side-by-side in. Don't let it abide in my dreams.
It's comfortable to hide and cherish each other's company here. I don't want this just to remain in my dreams.

Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two and two for tea,
Imagine you sitting on my lap while we have tea for two, both of us enjoying each other's company.

Just me for you and you for me, alone!
It's just me and you here, without anyone else around to disturb us.

Nobody near us, to see us or hear us,
No one else is close by to watch or listen to us.

No friends or relations on weekend vacations,
There are no friends or family members vacationing here with us.

We won't have it known, dear, that we have a telephone, dear.
It's best if no one knows we have a telephone here.

Day will break and you'll awake and start to bake a sugar cake for me to take for all the boys to see.
When the day breaks, you will wake up and bake a cake for me to show off to everyone.

We will raise a family, a boy for you, a girl for me,
We will start a family and have a son for you and a daughter for me.

Oh, can't you see how happy life would be?
Can't you see how much joy and happiness life would bring us?

You are revealing a plan so appealing I can't help but falling for you,
You have shared such an enticing plan that I am falling deeply in love with you.

Darling, I planned it; can't you understand it is yours to command it, so do.
My darling, I was the one who planned this. Please understand that it is your decision to make, so do what you wish.

All of your schemes I'm admiring, they're worth desiring but can't you see,
I am fond of all the plans you have proposed. I desire them as well, but can't you see,

I'd like to wait there for some future date dear; it won't be too late, dear, for me.
I prefer to wait for a later date to execute these plans, but it won't be too late for me.
