TEA FOR TWO (Soundtrack)






Songs from the film "Tea For Two" (1950)
(Based loosely on the show and film "No, No, Nanette")
Starring Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Gene Nelson & Patrice Wymore


















TEA FOR TWO (Opening Titles)
Music by Vincent Youmans / Lyrics by Irving Caesar & Otto Harbach
Performed by the Chorus




Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone


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 you'll awake
And start to bake a sugar cake
For me to take for all the boys to see
We will raise a family
A boy for you, a girl for me
Oh, can't you see how happy we would be

I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW
Music by Vincent Youmans / Lyrics by Anne Caldwell
Performed by Doris Day and Gordon MacRae




DORIS:
I know that you know
That I'll go where you go
I choose you
Won't lose you
I wish you knew how much 
I long to hold you in my arms
This time is my time
'Twill soon be goodbye time
Then in the starlight
Hold me tight
With one more little kiss
And nighty-night!


(Dance Routine)


GORDON:
I know that you know
That I'll go where you go
I choose you
Won't lose you
I wish you knew how much 
I long to hold you in my arms
This time is my time
'Twill soon be goodbye time
Then in the starlight
Hold me tight
With one more little kiss
Say nighty-night!

CRAZY RHYTHM
Music by Roger Wolfe Kahn & Joseph Meyer / Lyrics by Irving Caesar
Performed by Patrice Wymore




Crazy rhythm, here's the doorway
I'll go my way, you'll go your way
Crazy rhythm, from now on we're through


Here is where we have a showdown
I'm too high-hat and you're too low-down
Crazy rhythm, here's goodbye to you!


They say that when a high-brow meets a low-brow
Walking along Broadway
Soon the high-brow he has no brow
Ain't it a shame
And you're to blame


What's the use of prohibition
You produce the same condition
Crazy rhythm, I've gone crazy too

I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU
Music by Harry Warren / Lyrics by Al Dubin
Performed by Gordon MacRae




Are the stars out tonight
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can't see a thing in the sky
'Cause I only have eyes for you


I don't know if we're in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you


(Dance Routine)


You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

TEA FOR TWO
Music by Vincent Youmans / Lyrics by Irving Caesar & Otto Harbach
Performed by Gordon MacRae and Doris Day




GORDON:
Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me alone


(Dialogue)


I'm discontented with homes that are rented
So I have invented my own
Darling, this place is lovely oasis
Where life's weary chase is unknown
Far from the cry of the city
Where flowers pretty caress the stream
Cozy to hide in, to live side by side in
Don't let it abide in my dream


Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you and you for me alone 
Nobody near us to see us or hear us (DORIS: Mm, mm, mm)
No friends or relations (DORIS: Mm, mm, mm)
On weekend vacations (DORIS: Mm, mm, mm)
We won't have it known, dear
That we own a telephone, dear


DORIS:
Day will break and I'll awake
To start to bake a sugar cake
For you to take to all the boys to see
BOTH:
We will raise a family
GORDON:
A boy for you
A little girl for me
BOTH:
Can't you see how happy we would be

TEA FOR TWO (Reprise)
Music by Vincent Youmans / Lyrics by Irving Caesar & Otto Harbach
Performed by Doris Day




Picture me upon your knee
With tea for two and two for tea
Just me for you and you for me alone


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
Oh, can't you see how happy we would be

OH ME!, OH MY!
Music by Vincent Youmans / Lyrics by Ira Gershwin
Performed by Gene Nelson




Oh me, oh my, oh you!
No other girl will do
Cares will be forever ended
And this world will be so splendid
If you cared enough, Dear, to be true


Oh me, oh my, oh you
Those lips, those eyes of blue
You're so lovely
You're so sweet
You simply lift me off my feet
Oh me, oh my, oh you!

NO, NO, NANETTE
Music by Vincent Youmans / Lyrics by Otto Harbach
Performed by Doris Day, Gene Nelson and Chorus




CHORUS: 
We're going to Atlantic city 
We have packed our dresses pretty
Soon you'll see us mingling with the throng


MEN: 
Before we start on our vacation 
We have one more obligation 
Let us ask Nanette to come along


WOMEN: 
Why should we take Nanette along
She'll be an extra dame
MEN: Because we fellows like Nanette
DORIS: Oh, did I hear my name?
MEN: Please let her go
GENE: Please let her go
WOMEN: No, no, Nanette.
CHORUS: No, no, no, no!


DORIS:
No, no, Nanette, that's all I hear! 
I get it the whole day through
No, no, Nanette regales my ear 
No matter what I may do
Sometime, perhaps, I'll have my way 
When I am old and turning grey
But just as yet it's always
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Nanette!


(Dance Routine)


CHORUS: 
No, no, no 
No, no, Nanette

THE CALL OF THE SEA
Music by Vincent Youmans / Lyrics by Irving Caesar
Performed by Gordon MacRae and Chorus




CHORUS:
We've packed our suntan lotion
For a weekend at the ocean


When the sea begins a-calling me
A sort of tempting incantation
Fills me with elation
It seems to say, "Come out and play"
Come along and learn the old, old song
The song of love's sweet fascination
Something fills me with a thousand thrills
When the sea is a-calling me


GORDON:
When the sea begins a-calling me
A sort of tempting incantation
Fills me with elation
It seems to say, "Come out and play"
Come along and learn the old, old song
The song of love's sweet fascination
Something fills me with a thousand thrills
When the sea is a-callin' me

And you say you are blue
I'll send the sun smiling through


DORIS & GORDON:
I want to be happy
But I won't be happy
Till I make you happy too
