[Verse 1: Teresa Brewer & Bunny Briggs]
Tulip or turnip, rosebud or rhubarb
Filet or plain beef stew
Tell me, tell me, dream face
What am I to you?

[Verse 2: Teresa Brewer & Bunny Briggs]
Diamond or doorknob, sapphire or sawdust
Champagne or just home brew
Tell me, tell me, dream face
What am I to you?

[Bridge: Teresa Brewer, Bunny Briggs]
Am I heading for blue skies
Or is my ceiling zero?
Do I get that booby prize
Or will I be the hero?

[Verse 3: Teresa Brewer & Bunny Briggs]
Tulip or turnip, moonbeams or mud pie
Bankroll or IOU
Tell me, tell me, dream face
What am I to you?

[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Teresa Brewer, Bunny Briggs]
Am I heading for blue skies
Or is my ceiling zero?
Do I get that booby prize
Or will I be the hero?

[Verse 4: Teresa Brewer & Bunny Briggs]
Tulip or turnip, moonbeams or mud pie
"Get lost" or "I love you"
Tell me, tell me, dream face
What am I to you?
So tell me, tell me, dream face, I gotta know
What am I to you?
