TIP-TOE THROUGH THE TULIPS
_________________________________1929
TIP-TOE TO THE WINDOW,
BY THE WINDOW, THAT IS WHERE I’LL BE.
COME TIP-TOE
THROUGH THE TULIPS WITH ME.
TIP-TOE FROM YOUR PILLOW,
TO THE SHADOW, OF A WILLOW TREE,
AND TIP-TOE
THROUGH 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
THROUGH THE TULIPS WITH ME.
