Re: Sing [Drama! 20/09]

Juliet's singing voice was fine: She wasn't going to win any televised competition with it, but she carried a tune sweetly and had some expression in her voice.

"This is called 'Tea for Two,'" she announced. "It's from a '20s musical, but most people know it 'cause people like Blossom Dearie and Doris Day covered it."

And with that, she began to sing. She liked the lyrics, even if she thought the world described in them would bore her silly.

I'm discontented with homes that I've rented
So I have invented my own.
Darling, this place is lovely oasis
Where life's weary taste is unknown

Far from the crowded city
Where flowers pretty caress the stream
Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in,
Don't let it apart in my dream

Picture me upon your 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
That we own a telephone, dear

Day will break and I'll wake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take for all the boys to see

We will raise a family
A boy for you
And a girl for me
Can't you see how happy we would be

Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone
