Composer Vincent Youmans wrote the basic melody idea of Tea for Two while he was in the navy during World War I, but later further developed the idea for the Broadway musical No, No Nanette, where it was introduced by Louise Groody and John Barker. With carefree lyrics and a catchy melody singing about a honeymoon, coupled with energy and repeti- tions providing an excellent basis for improvisations, it quickly became Youmans’ biggest hit. This song was arranged for a choral setting by Peter Gritton
