[Verse 1] One time ago a crazy dream came to me I dreamt I was walking to World War Three I went to the doctor the very next day To see what kind of words he could say He said it was a bad dream I wouldnt worry about it none, though Them old dreams are only in your head [Verse 2] I said Hold it Doc, a World War passed through my brain He said Nurse, get your pad, the boys insane He grabbed my arm, I said Ouch! As I landed on the psychiatric couch He said Tell me about it [Verse 3] Well, the whole thing started at 3 oclock fast It was all over by a quarter past I was down in the sewer with some little lover When I peeked out from a manhole cover Wondering who turned the lights on us [Verse 4] Well, I got up and I walked around Up and down the lonesome town I stood awondering which way to go I lit a cigarette on a parking meter And walked on down the road It was a normal day [Verse 5] Well, I rung the fallout shelter bell And I leaned my head and I give a yell Give me a string bean, Im a hungry man A shotgun fired, and away I ran I dont blame him too much though, he didnt know me [Verse 6] Down at the corner by the hotdog stand I seen a man I said Howdy friend, I guess theres just us two He screamed a bit, and away he flew Thought I was a Communist [Verse 7] Well, I spied me a girl and before she could leave I said Lets go and play Adam and Eve I took her by the hand, and my heart was thumping When she said Hey man, you crazy or something? You seen what happened last time they started [Verse 8] Well, I seen me a Cadillac window uptown There was nobody around I got into the drivers seat And I drove down 42nd Street In my Cadillac Good car to drive after a war [Verse 9] Well, I remember seeing some ad So I turned on my Conelrad But I didnt pay the Con Ed bill So the radio didnt work so well Turned on my record player It was RockaDay Johnny, singing Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa Our Loves Agoing to Grow, Oohwah, Oohwah [Verse 10] I was feeling kind of lonesome and blue I needed somebody to talk to So I called up the operator of time Just to hear a voice of some kind When you hear the beep it will be 3 oclock She said that for over an hour And I hung up [Verse 11] Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then Saying Hey, Ive been having the same old dreams But mine was a little different, you see I dreamt the only person left after the war was me I didnt see you around [Verse 12] Well, now time passed and now it seems Everybodys having them dreams Everybody sees their self Walking around with no one else [Outro] Half of the people can be part right all of the time And some of the people can be all right part of the time But all of the people cant be all right all of the time I think Abraham Lincoln said that Ill let you be in my dream if I can be in yours I said that
said, well, oohwah, dream, war
