Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Picture me upon your knee
Just tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you and you for me alone
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Day will break and I'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take for all the boys to see
[Verse 4]
We will raise a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
Oh, can't you see how happy we would be?
[Verse 5]
Picture me upon your knee
Tea for two and two for tea
Me for you and you for me, alone
[Verse 6]
Nobody near us to see us or hear us
No friends or relations on weekend vacations
Won't have it known that we own a telephone, dear
[Verse 7]
Oh, day will break and I'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take for all the boys to see
[Verse 8]
Oh, we will raise a family
A boy for you and a girl for me
Can't you see how happy
Can't you see how happy
Can't you see how happy we could be?
