Lyrics
Verse 1:
I’m looking out for a love nest,
Basement or top back room;
I like to live up above best,
Far from the city’s gloom.
When I succeed, my love I’ll plead,
To you the whole day through,
Singing a lullaby love song,
Telling just what we’ll do.
Refrain:
There’ll only be the two of us,
Nobody else to make a fuss;
And don’t you see that’s quite enough, the two of us?
When we have tea there’ll never be,
Say five or four or even three;
There’ll be just tea for two, my dear, the two of us.
Of course, in time to come, we’ll find room, I suppose!
That’s when the folks will see us buying baby clothes;
But, for the present,
There’ll only be the two of us,
Nobody else to make a fuss,
And don’t you see that’s quite enough, the two of us?
Verse 2:
There is a picture I’ve painted,
For you, in all my dreams;
And now we’re getting acquainted,
I will explain my schemes.
I thought that we happy could be,
Out where the skies are blue,
In a wee cot ’mid the roses,
Where I would sing to you.
Sung by Vladimir (Green Uke V):
