A Little Wigwam For Two 1920

With prices what they are today
I think 'twould be a better way
to live in tents
think what we'd save in rents
the Indians of yester year
I'll say they had the right idea
A skin, a pole, a slat,
that was their Harlem flat
Gee that's the life you know.
What do you say let's go.

As soon as we've got
a grassy green spot
beside a cool stream that's blue
Beneath a tall palm
we'll build a wigwam
and find a fond dream come true.
When once we're in it
our life each minute
will be a lovely thing and new
we've got to try dear
just you and I dear
a little wiggy wiggy
wiggy wigwam for two.

As soon as we've got
a grassy green spot
beside a cool stream that's blue
Beneath a tall palm
we'll build a wigwam
and find a fond dream come true.
When once we're in it
our life each minute
will be a lovely thing and new
we've got to try dear
just you and I dear
a little wiggy wiggy
wiggy wigwam for two.

You'll be the Chief the seer the scribe
and I will be your little tribe
I'll bake and cook
I learned how from a book
Each night I'll roast a goose or two
there may come a papoose or two
A little him or her
These things you know occur!
Gee that's life you know
What do you say let's go.

As soon as we've got
a grassy green spot
beside a cool stream that's blue
Beneath a tall palm
we'll build a wigwam
and find a fond dream come true.
When once we're in it
our life each minute
will be a lovely thing and new
we've got to try dear
just you and I dear
a little wiggy wiggy
wiggy wigwam for two.

As soon as we've got
a grassy green spot
beside a cool stream that's blue
Beneath a tall palm
we'll build a wigwam
and find a fond dream come true.
When once we're in it
our life each minute
will be a lovely thing and new
we've got to try dear
just you and I dear
a little wiggy wiggy
wiggy wigwam for two.
