Very popular recording of a hit song from the Broadway musical "No, No, Nanette" (1924). It was originally written as a duet between a couple, but this recorded version has Harris singing both parts through minor adjustments to the lyrics.

    • LYRICS

    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 stream

    Cosy to hide in

    To live side by side in
    Don't let it abide in
    My dream

    Picture me

    Upon your 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 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, a girl for me
    Oh can't you see how happy we would be?

    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, a girl for me
    Oh can't you see how happy we would be?
