Baby, Dream Your Dream - Gwen Verdon

Baby,

Dream Your Dream.

Close your eyes and try it.

Dream of furniture;

Dream that I can buy it.

That fancy bed you prayed for,

Not only bought but paid for.

Dream we sign the lease,

Leave a small deposit;

Three and one-half rooms

With a walking closet.

We’ll ask the local Jet-set

To dine on our dinette-set

Right across the street,

There’s a friendly bank.

You make a friendly loan,

And the bank says: «Thank you.»

Ev’ry Saturday,

We’ll spend all our money.

Join the P.T.A.;

They will love you, honey.

Life will be frozen peaches and cream.

Baby, dream Your Dream.

Three fat hungry kids

All in pink condition

So, who’s in the red?

That nice obstitrition.

Big daddy’s favorite past time

He’s had it for the last time.

Soon daddy don’t come home,

He says he’s gone bowling.

But, a bowling ball

Is not what Daddy’s rolling.

Every night they fight.

Once they both exploded

Then they both got tight

Tight, hell they got loaded!

Well, who knows what will sour the cream

When you dream your-

But come to think of it

How happy I would be

If someday I could find the kind of guy

Who’d say to me

Baby, dream your dream.

Close your eyes and try it

Dream of three fat kids

Brother, would I buy it?

Life could be frozen peaches and cream

If only I could

(If only i could)

Dream, dream, dream a dream.
