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!
