Keep A Little Dream Handy

(with Jerry Lewis)

Keep a little dream handy (JL) Tell me why and I'll try
For melancholy days (JL) Listen Arebella dream about another fella
Life's ice cream and candy (JL) Chorcafilla or vanilla
For dreamer so they say (JL) I'm no good at dreams I just fall asleep it seems
When a grape laughs keep a sun shining
UNINTELLIGIBLE

Keep that little dream handy (JL) You better had or I'll be mad
And dream your cares away (JL) Like Rip Van Winkle
And dream your cares away (JL) Say nighty-nighty
Dream your cares away (JL) It's time for bed now
Dream your cares away (JL) --- a dumb noise ---
And dream your cares away
