Lyrics
1. Where the dikes of quaint old Holland
Guard the city from the sea
Stands a queer old-fashioned windmill
And it seems to beckon me
To that land of peace and romance
Where the tulips bloom so fair
To a little maid of Holland
Who is waiting for me there
Chorus
It’s tulip time in Holland
Two lips I know are lonely
The sweetest lips in Holland
Are blooming for me only
I’d give the world if I could be
Back there beside her, by the Zuider Zee
It’s tulip time in Holland
Two lips are calling me
2. When the spring time comes to Holland
When the fragrant tulips grow
It is like a spot from heaven
Just transported here below
And in fancy I can see her
In that garden by the sea
Where we strolled among the tulips
Where she’s waiting now for me
Sung here by Fred Feild:
