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.
