[Verse 1]
Napoleon tips his hat and waves onto the shore
Said, "How come the people don't come see me anymore?"
The hatter turned away and sank his teeth into his pocket
It's not the same out there in Spain
They just don't seem to stock it
[Chorus]
I'm dreamin'
You know I think I'm dreamin'
Any moment, I may wake up screamin'
I'm dreamin'
You know I think I'm dreamin'
Any moment, I may wake up screamin'
[Verse 2]
The lighthouse man who cannot sleep for twenty-seven reasons
Comes runnin' up to say the candle's burnin' all uneven
To get it straight, they got to wait until the strike of three
When someone pulls the wrong plug
They're all swept out to sea
[Chorus]
I'm dreamin'
You know I think I'm dreamin'
Any moment, I may wake up screamin'
I'm dreamin'
You know I think I'm dreamin'
Any moment, I may wake up screamin'
[Verse 3]
Livin' in a yellow cave beneath the waterfall
The postman reads the mail all day and then forgets to call
His trusty steed, a Burmese breed, keeps kickin' at the fishes
They're playin' hell with his hotel
And stealin' all the dishes
[Chorus]
I'm dreamin' (I'm dreamin')
You know I think I'm dreamin' (You know I think I'm dreamin')
Any moment, I may wake up screamin' (Any moment, I may wake up screamin')
I'm dreamin' (I'm dreamin')
You know I think I'm dreamin' (You know I think I'm dreamin')
Any moment, I may wake up screamin' (Any moment, I may wake up screamin')
[Chorus]
I'm dreamin'
You know I think I'm dreamin'
Any moment, I may wake up screamin'
I'm dreamin'
You know I think I'm dreamin'
Any moment, I may wake up screamin'
Oh, I'm dreamin'
You know I think I'm dreamin'
Any moment, I may wake up screamin'
I'm dreamin'
You know I think I'm dreamin'
Any moment, I may wake up screamin'
[Outro]
Without music
Lockdown would've been
Fuckin' nightmare
