- One line sung in a mocking voice - Unreleased

Shades of night are creaping
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 through the window
where the window is where I will be
Tip toe through the tulips with me
Tip toe from your pillow
to the shadow of a willow tree
and tip toe through 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 through the tulips with me
tip toe through the window
by the window is where I will be
come tip toe through the tulips with me
tip toe from your pillow
to the shadow of a willow tree
and tip toe through the tulips with me
just me dear
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 through the tulips with me
tip, tip through the tulips with me
That's all!
