He:  I'm discontented with homes that are rented so I have invented my own,

She:  Darling this place is a lover's oasis where lights where we chase is unknown,

He:  Far from the cry of the city where flowers pretty caress the stream,

Both: Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in, don't let it abide in my dream.

 

He:  Picture you upon my knee, just tea for two, and two for tea.

Just me for you, and you for me alone.

She:  Nobody near us, to see and to hear us, no friends or relations

On weekend vacations, we won't have it known, dear, that we own a telephone, dear.

He:  They will brake (?) and you'll awake, and start to bake a sugar cake

For me to take for all the boys to see.

Both:  We will raise a family, a boy for you and a girl for me,

Can't you see how happy we will be.
