Tip-Toe Thru' the Tulips with Me
Annette Hanshaw, 1929

Words: Al Dubin
Music: Joe Burke
"Gold Diggers of Broadway" (1929)


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 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 a willow tree
And tip-toe thru' 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 thru' the tulips with me

(Interlude)

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 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
Tip tip-toe thru' the tulips with me
