- Verse:
- I'm discontented with homes
that are rented, so I have invented my own;
- Darling this place is a
lover's oasis, where life's weary chase is unknown.
- Far from the cry of the
city where flowers pretty caress the streams,
- Cosy to hide in, to live
side by side in, don't let it abide in my dreams.
-
- Chorus:
- 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 week end 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 far 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?
