TIP TOE THRU' THE TULIPS WITH ME
From "The Gold Diggers of Broadway (Words by Al Dubin / Music by Joe Burke)
as sung by Annette Hanshaw

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 tip toe
Thru 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
And 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

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 the willow tree
And tip toe thru the tulips with me

Just knee deep
In flowers we'll stray
And we'll keep
The April 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

THAT'S ALL!

I was pleasantly surprised too at how far back this tune went and Annette Hanshaw who I never heard of before does have a marvelous voice. It is surprising how many tunes originated back in the 20's or 30's. Another one comes to mind, Hermin's Hermits sang "Leanin' On A Lampost" which was an old original by England's Ukelele strummin' George Formby (versions of it are on youtube also) You've made a lot of people happy, Atticus70, with all these high quality top-notch uploads. Keep 'em comin'.

@julahall24 You were born just in time. 80 years of music fed directly to your computer.

When I was your age we didn't even have remotes. We had to walk 3 miles through 6 foot snow drifts to change the 4 channels we could get on the TV.
