Heed those trumpets all night long
The cook's got a carnival song
As they push the recline buttons down
No parkas to their name
All dressed up to follow the drums
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
The hawk howls in New York City
Dream, dream, dreamland
With dreamland coming on
With dreamland coming on
In shoes full of tropic sand
As they lead toward temptation
Dream, dreamland
African sand on the trade winds
Dreamland, dreamland
Talking over a glass of rum
With the knowledge of things to come
All saints, all sinners shining
Six foot drifts on Myrtle's lawn
Goodtime Mary and a fortune hunter
With dreamland coming on
Dreamland, dreamland
A lady in a foreign flag
Burning on the inside
With dreamland coming on
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Mary in a feather hula-hoop
Come marching out of the waves
Propped up on a samba beat
Dreamland, dreamland
Dreamland, dreamland
With dreamland coming on
And I lay down thinking national
Dreamland, dreamland
Dreamland, dreamland
And midnight ramblin' on the lawn
Like a Dorothy Lamour Sarong
In the name of the Suntan slave
On the arm of her Marlboro Man
In a plane flying back to winter
We're gonna lay down someplace shady
There's gambling out on the terrace
With dreamland coming on
Dreamland, dreamland
As they push the recline buttons down
And the sun on the Amazon
Dream, dream, dream on dreamland
Tar baby and the Great White Wonder
Walter Raleigh and Chris Columbus
Dreamland, dreamland
And claim the beach and all concessions
Donkey vendors slicing coconut
Dreamland, dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
I wrapped that flag around me
Black babies covered in baking flour
Miss Fortune with a rose on her big game gun
Dreamland, dreamland
