Verse:

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, Come...

 

Chorus:

Tip-toe to the window, by the window, That is where I'll be,

Come tip-toe thru the tulips with me;

Tip-toe from your pillow, to the shadow of a willow tree,

And tip-toe thru the tulips with me;

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 tip-toe thru the tulips with me.
