Tip Toe Thru' The Tulips With Me (with verses) Ukulele UkesterBrown

This sweet song was written in 1929 by Al Dubin and Joe Burke and for better or worse my generation was introduced to it by Herbert Khaury aka "Tiny Tim". It seems that everyone who knew him will admit that while eccentric he was a living library of Tin Pan Alley music. It is a tender song filled with romantic hopes... I want to almost sing it in a whisper.

My favorite version is by Annette Hanshaw (again)... You can hear her version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dpNV4w5cD4

This was a request by Joe, also known to many who love cooking by his website: http://www.wwrecipes.com/ .

So much better than Tiny Tim. Haha. But seriously speaking, great arrangement!

I don't think I've ever heard the whole song David. You did such a lovely job with this! I'd never liked the song until I heard your version.

@fourteentwelve Thanks Michelle- I worked pretty hard on this one because most everyone has a tainted view of it.

I love it. Great to hear all the extra verses!

[UkesterBrown]

@StUkulele Thanks Stuart. I do like finding those "lost" verses.

It's a shame this song has such a bad rep. It's a great song and you prove it here.
