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

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
