Tip-Toe Thru' The Tulips With Me
Nick Lucas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The little old lady from Pasadena
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
Has a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
But parked in a rickety old garage
Is a brand new, shiny red Super Stock Dodge
[Chorus]
And everybody's sayin' that there's nobody meaner
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
(She drives real fast and she drives real hard)
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard
It's the little old lady from Pasadena
If you see her on the street don't try to choose her
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
You might drive a goer but you'll never lose her
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
Well, she's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later
'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator
[Chorus]
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
(Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go)
The guys come to race her for miles around
But she'll give 'em a length and then she'll shut 'em down
[Chorus]
Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go
Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go
Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go
Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go
Go, Granny, go, Granny, go Granny go
This song tells the story of a seemingly harmless old lady from Pasadena who has a beautiful garden full of white gardenias, but also harbors a secret love of racing.

The song warns that if you ever see her on the street, don't try to choose her, because you'll never lose her, as she just can't keep her foot off the accelerator. Many people have come from miles around to race her, but she always gives them a length before shutting them down.

Shades of night are creeping
Willow trees are weeping
Old folks and babies are sleeping
Silver stars are gleaming
All alone I'm scheming, scheming
To get you out here, my dear
[Chorus]
Come tiptoe to the window, by the window
That is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
Tiptoe from your pillow
To the shadow of a willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
[Verse 2]
Knee deep in flowers we'll stray
We'll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight
Will you pardon me?
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me

Yes
@oliverbender3764
@@caoyuann To be honest, from my perspective, it retrospectively made sense that they would ask Tiny Tim to starr in Blood Harvest--his rendition of the song, as much as I like it, sounds so pitched that I would be in fear for my life if he stood behind me in a dark room and started serenading me. (also because he's been dead for decades now)
I prefer Nick Lucas' rendition, but I don't speak for Cameron, obviously.
