It's a long, long way from Canada
A long way from snow chains
Donkey vendors slicing coconut
No parkas to their name.
Black babies covered in baking flour
The cook's got a carnival song
I'm going to lay down someplace shady
With dreamland coming
Dreamland, dreamland
Dreamland, dreamland.
Walter Raleigh and Chris Columbus
Come marching out of the waves
And claim the beach and all concessions
In the name of suntan slaves
I wrapped that flag around me
Like a Dorothy Lamour sarong
And I lay down thinking national
With dreamland coming 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 big game gun
All saints, all sinners shining
Heed those trumpets all night long
Propped up on a samba beat
With dreamland coming on
Dreamland, dreamland
Dreamland, dreamland.
Tar baby and the Great White Wonder
Talking over a glass of rum
Burning on the inside
With the knowledge of things to come
There's gambling out on the terrace
And midnight ramblin' on the lawn
As they lean toward temptation
With dreamland coming on
Dreamland, dreamland
Dreamland, dreamland.
La, la...
African sand on the trade winds
And the sun on the Amazon
As they push the recline buttons down
With dreamland coming on
Dreamland, dreamland
Dreamland, dreamland.
