I'm discontented with homes that are rented So I have invented my own Darling, this place is a lover's oasis Where life's weary chase is unknown Far from the cry of the city where flowers pretty Caress the streams Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in Don't let it abide in our dreams ♪ Picture me upon your knee (I like that!) Just tea for two and two for tea (ah-huh?) Just me for you and you for me alone Carmen, there'll be nobody near us To see us or hear us No friends or relations on weekend vacations We won't have it known, dear, that we own a telephone, dear Day will break, and I'll awake 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?
