It's a long long way from
Canada, a long way from snow chains
Donkey vendors slicing coconut,
no parkers to their names
Black babies covered in baking flour,
the cook's got a carnival song
We're gonna lay down someplace shady
with dreamland coming on
Dreamland
Dreamland
Dreamland
Dreamland
Walter
Raleigh and
Chris
Columbus
Come a- marchin' out of the waves
And claim the beach and all concessions
In the name of the sun and slaves
I wrapped that flag around me
Like a
Dorothy
L'Amour sarong
And I lay down thinking national
With
Dreamland comin' on
Dreamland
Dreamland
Dreamland
Dreamland
Good time
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 baking bun
All saints, all sinners shining
Heed those trumpets all night long
Propped up on a samba beat with
Greenland coming on
Greenland
Greenland
Greenland
Greenland
Greenland
Greenland
Greenland
Greenland
Greenland
Tower baby and the great white wonder
talking over a glass of rum
Burning on the inside with the
knowledge of things to come
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah
There's gamblin' out on the terrace
and midnight ramblin' on the lawn
As they lean toward temptation with
dreamland comin' on
Dream, dream, dreamland,
dream, dreamland
In a plane flying back to winter, in shoes full of poppy scent,
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
Na na na na na na
La la la la
African sand on the trade winds
And the sun on the
Amazon
As they push the recline button
s down with
Dreamland coming on
Dreamland, dreamland
Dreamland
Dream on, dream on
Dream land
Dream on,
dream on
Be
