It's a long, way from Canada A long way snow chains Donkey vendors coconut No to their names
Black babies covered in flour The cook's got a carnival We're going to lay down shady With dreamland on
Dreamland, Dreamland,
Raleigh and Chris Columbus Come out of the waves And the beach and all concessions In the name of the slaves
I wrapped flag around me Like a Lamour sarong And I lay down national dreamland coming on
Dreamland, Dreamland,
Goodtime Mary and a hunter All dressed up to the drums in a feather hula-hoop Miss with a rose on her big game gun
All saints, all sinners Heed trumpets all night long Propped up on a beat dreamland coming on
Dreamland, Dreamland,
Tar and the Great White Wonder over a glass of rum Burning on the With the knowledge of to come
gambling out on the terrace And midnight ramblin' on the As they toward temptation dreamland coming on
Dream, dream, Dream,
In a plane flying back to In shoes of tropic sand A lady in a foreign On the arm of her Man
The hawk howls in New York Six foot drifts on Myrtle's As push the recline buttons down dreamland coming on
Dreamland, Dreamland,
African on the trade winds And the sun on the As they push the buttons down With coming on
Dreamland,
Dream on, dream on, on Dream on, on Dream on, on, dream on Dream on, on Dream on, dream on, on Dream on, dream on, on on
