|
It's a long, long way from |
|
CanadaA long way from snow chains |
|
Donkey vendors slicing coconut |
|
No parkas to their names |
|
Black babies covered in baking flour |
|
The cook's got a carnival song |
|
We're going to lay down someplace shady |
|
With dreamland coming on |
|
Dreamland, dreamland |
|
Dreamland, dreamland |
|
Walter Raleigh and |
|
Chris Columbus |
|
Come marching out of the waves |
|
And claim the beach and all concessions |
|
In the name of the suntan slaves |
|
I wrapped that flag around me |
|
Like a Dorothy |
|
Lamour sarong |
|
And I lay down thinking national |
|
With dreamland coming on |
|
Dreamland, dreamland |
|
Dreamland, dreamland |
|
Goodtime Mary and a fortune hunter |
|
All dressed up to follow the drums |
|
Mary in a feather hula-hoop |
|
Miss Fortune with a rose on her big game gun |
|
All saints, all sinners shining |
|
Heed those trumpets all night long |
|
Propped up on a samba beat |
|
With dreamland coming on |
|
Dreamland, dreamland |
|
Dreamland, dreamland |
|
Tar baby and the |
|
Great White |
|
WonderTalking over a glass of rum |
|
Burning on the inside |
|
With the knowledge of things to come |
|
There's gambling out on the terrace |
|
And midnight ramblin' on the lawn |
|
As they lead toward temptation |
|
With dreamland coming on |
|
Dream, dream, dreamland |
|
Dream, dreamland |
|
In a plane flying back to winter |
|
In shoes full of tropic sand |
|
A lady in a foreign flag |
|
On the arm of her |
|
Marlboro Man |
|
The hawk howls in |
|
New York City |
|
Six foot drifts on |
|
Myrtle's lawn |
|
As they push the recline buttons down |
|
With dreamland coming on |
|
Dreamland, dreamland |
|
Dreamland, dreamland |
|
African sand on the trade winds |
|
And the sun on the |
|
AmazonAs they push the recline buttons down |
|
With dreamland coming on |
|
Dreamland, dreamland |
|
DreamlandDream on, dream on, dream on |
|
Dream on, dream on |
|
Dream on, dream on, dream on |
|
Dream on, dream on |
|
Dream on, dream on, dream on |
|
Dream on, dream on, dream on |
|
Dream on |
