Tiptoe Through the Tulips lyrics:
Tiptoe to the window, by the window that is where I’ll be…
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me!
Tiptoe from your pillow, to the shadow of a willow tree…
And tiptoe through the tulips with me!
Knee deep in flowers will stray, we’ll keep the showers away.
And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight, will you pardon me?
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me!
