Sounds of my Grandparents Era
"Tip Toe Thru the Tulips With Me" sung by Nick Lucas - The Crooning Troubadour. "Tip Toe Through the Tulips with Me", is a popular song published in 1929, after introducing the song in the musical "talkie" film "Gold Diggers of Broadway". Lucas's recording held the #1 position for ten weeks. The song was written by Al Dubin (lyrics) and Joe Burke (music) (March 18, 1884 – June 9, 1950). Recorded on Brunswick 78 RPM No. 4418 by The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company.
Played on a Victrola Talking Machine with a Tungs-Tone Stylus. Videography by Dane C. Sorensen.
There are probably far better sounding recordings of this song, but this video gives you an idea what an average persons in the 1940s would have been able to listen to on their home talking machine. This record belonged to my Grandparents - Frederick and Genevieve Robertson.
Lyrics:
Tip-toe through the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tip-toe through the tulips with me
Tip-toe from the garden
By the garden of a lily tree
And tip-toe through the tulips with me
Knee deep in flowers we'll stra
yWe'll keep the showers away
And if I kiss you in the garden
In the moonlight, will you pardon me?
And tip-toe through 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?
And tip-toe through the tulips with me.
