Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Shades of night are creeping
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
Chorus
Tiptoe to the window, by the window
That is where I’ll be
Come tiptoe thru the tulips with me
Tiptoe from your pillow, to the shadow
Of a willow tree
And tiptoe thru 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 tiptoe thru the tulips with me
- Come on out and pet me
Come and “Juliet” me
Tease me and slyly “coquette” me
Let me Romeo you
I just want to show you
How much I’m willing to do
For you, come
