"Tea For Two" ist der herausragende Song des Musicals "No No Nanette".

 

James: I'm disconted 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 streams,

Cosy to hide in, to live side by side in, don't let it a bide 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 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 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?

 

Nannette: You are revealing a plan so appealing I can't help but feeling for you;

James: Darling I planned it can't understand it, is yours to command it, so do.

Nannette: All of your schemes I'm admiring, they're won't desiring, but can't you see,

I'd like to wait dear for some future date dear, it won't be too late dear, for me.

 

Refrain
