Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh honey
Picture me upon your knee
With tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you and you for me alone
Nobody near 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'm gonna wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take
To all the boys to see (ooh, darling)
We will raise a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
Can't you see
How happy we will be?
Picture you upon my knee
Tea for two and two for tea
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'm gonna wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take
For all the boys to see (ooh-ooh-ah)
We will raise a family
A boy for you and girl for me
Oh, can't you see
How happy we will be?
(How happy we will be?)

Oh honey
Oh my love
Picture me upon your knee
Imagine me sitting close to you
With tea for two and two for tea
Enjoying a quiet and intimate moment together
Just me for you and you for me alone
Only focused on each other and no one else
Nobody near us
No one nearby
To see us or hear us
Observing or eavesdropping on us
No friends or relations
No acquaintances or family members
On weekend vacations
During our leisure time
We won't have it known, dear
We won't let it be known, my love
That we own a telephone, dear
That we have a telephone, my love
Day will break and I'm gonna wake
Morning will come and I will wake up
And start to bake a sugar cake
And begin creating a sweet dessert
For you to take
For you to share
To all the boys to see (ooh, darling)
For everyone to admire
We will raise a family
We will start a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
We will have both a son and a daughter

Don't you realize
How happy we will be?
