"Tea for Two " è una canzone del 1924 composta da Vincent Youmans, con testo di Irving Caesar. La canzone fu utilizzata in un duetto fra i protagonisti del musical "No, No, Nanette" e riscosse un grande successo.
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
Refrain:
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 weekend 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 for 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?
