Tiptoe Through The Tulips is a popular song written in 1926 - according to wikipedia. There are many versions of it but Tiny Tim was the one who revived it in 1968 - using shorter slightly different lyrics - and his is probably the most well-known version nowadays.
Fact: He actually named one of his daughters Tulip. :)
The original song Tip-Toe Thru' The Tulips With Me was first recorded in 1929 by Nick Lucas.

Tiny Tim's version
Tiny Tim performing live
As performed by Nick Lucas...
Tiptoe through the window
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
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
Tip toe to the window, by the window
That is where I'll be, come
Tip toe thru the tulips with me
Tip toe from your pillow
To the shadow of the willow tree
And tip toe 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 tip toe thru the tulips with me.
... and by Tiny Tim
Tiptoe to the window
By the window, that is where I'll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
Oh, tiptoe from the garden
By the garden of the willow tree
And tiptoe 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 tiptoe through the tulips with me

some great images or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this blog could definitely be one of the best in its niche.
