Gum drops and dinosaurs’ and ants with no knickers
Fruit trees and elephants and bombs with no tickers
Bread & butter pudding covered in cream
These are some of the things of my dreams
Cellophane and cherry cakes and buttons from the ages
Star light and egg cups and books with crisp pages
Leather couches stitched at the seems
These are some of the things of my dreams
Bulldogs and goulash and country houses with lakes
Boxes and goblins and chocolate layer cakes
Low slung sports cars in metallic green
These are some of the things of my dreams
When the jerk speaks
When the flu spreads
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember the things of my dreams
And then I don’t feel so bad
Bicycles and thrift shops and bears with exotic names
Apple pies and blue skies and foreign cities to exclaim
And those little black shorts on football teams
These are some of the things of my dreams
Peacocks and clowns and Sundays that never end
Big hats and black suits and families that blend
Teapots and sugar bowls in silver that gleams
These are some of the things of my dreams
A world where we’re all equal and afternoon tea cakes on trays
Respect for everyone no matter which way they play
Glorious sunshine that warms my bloodstream
These are some of the things of my dreams
When the jerk speaks
When the flu spreads
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember the things of my dreams
And then I don’t feel so bad
