It's a long, long way Canada A long way from chains Donkey vendors slicing No parkas to names
Black covered in baking flour The cook's got a song We're going to lay down someplace With dreamland on
Dreamland, Dreamland,
Walter Raleigh and Columbus marching out of the waves And claim the beach and all In the of the suntan slaves
I wrapped flag around me Like a Lamour sarong And I lay down national With coming on
Dreamland, Dreamland,
Goodtime Mary and a hunter All dressed up to follow the Mary in a feather Miss Fortune with a rose on her big gun
All saints, all shining Heed those trumpets all night Propped up on a beat With coming on
Dreamland, Dreamland,
Tar baby and the Great White Talking a glass of rum Burning on the With the knowledge of things to
There's out on the terrace And midnight ramblin' on the As they lead temptation dreamland coming on
Dream, dream, Dream,
In a plane back to winter In full of tropic sand A in a foreign flag On the arm of her Man
The hawk howls in New City Six drifts on Myrtle's lawn As they push the buttons down dreamland coming on
Dreamland, Dreamland,
African on the trade winds And the sun on the As they the recline buttons down With dreamland on
Dreamland,
Dream on, on, dream on on, dream on Dream on, dream on, on Dream on, on Dream on, on, dream on Dream on, on, dream on on
