| [00:20.07] | One time ago a crazy dream came to me |
| [00:22.38] | I dreamt I was walkin' into World War Three |
| [00:26.29] | Went to the doctor the very next day |
| [00:28.16] | To see what kinda words he could say |
| [00:30.11] | He said, "It was a bad dream |
| [00:34.10] | I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though |
| [00:35.59] | They were my own dreams |
| [00:36.66] | Were only in your head |
| [00:48.75] | I said, "Hold it Doc, a World War passed through my brain " |
| [00:51.67] | He said, "Nurse, get your pad, the boy's insane " |
| [00:57.36] | He grabbed my arm, I said, "Ouch! " |
| [00:59.27] | As I landed on the psychiatric couch |
| [01:01.78] | He said, "Tell me about it " |
| [01:12.37] | Well, the whole thing started at three o'clock fast |
| [01:14.74] | It was all over by quarter past |
| [01:18.35] | I was down in the sewer with some little lover |
| [01:20.74] | When I peeked out from a manhole cover |
| [01:24.25] | Wondering who turned the lights on us |
| [01:35.85] | Well, I got up and I walked around |
| [01:38.12] | Up and down the lonesome town |
| [01:43.83] | I stood on wondering which way to go |
| [01:45.79] | I lit a cigarette on a parking meter |
| [01:47.87] | And walked on down the road, it was a normal day |
| [02:03.01] | Well, I rung me fallout shelter bell |
| [02:05.25] | And I leaned my head and I gave a yell |
| [02:08.60] | "Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man" “ |
| [02:11.15] | Shotgun fired and away I ran |
| [02:15.09] | I don't blame them too much though, they didn't know me |
| [02:28.02] | Down the corner by the hot-dog stand |
| [02:30.21] | I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend |
| [02:34.05] | I guess there's just us two" |
| [02:35.83] | He screamed a bit and away he flew |
| [02:39.34] | Thought I was a Communist |
| [03:00.79] | Well, I spied me a girl before she could leave |
| [03:02.99] | I said, "Let's go play Adam and Eve" |
| [03:06.88] | I took her by the hand and my heart was thumpin' |
| [03:08.83] | When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or something |
| [03:14.37] | You seen what happened last time they started" |
| [03:33.96] | Well, I seen me a Cadillac window uptown |
| [03:36.71] | There was nobody around |
| [03:39.43] | I got into the driver's seat |
| [03:41.27] | And I drove down 42nd street in my Cadillac |
| [03:47.12] | Good car to drive after a war |
| [04:04.35] | Well, I remember seein' some ad |
| [04:06.44] | So I turned on my Conelrad but I didn't pay the Con Ed bill |
| [04:11.01] | So the radio didn't work so well, turned on my record player |
| [04:18.16] | It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin', "Tell your ma, tell your pa |
| [04:23.16] | Our loves are gonna grow ooh wah, ooh wah" |
| [04:39.97] | I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue I needed somebody to talk to |
| [04:45.23] | So I called up the operator of time just to hear a voice of some kind |
| [04:52.71] | "When you hear the beep it will be three o'clock" “ |
| [04:56.83] | She said that for over an hour and I hung up |
| [05:11.83] | Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then |
| [05:14.23] | Sayin', "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreams |
| [05:18.59] | But mine was a little different you see |
| [05:21.18] | I dreamt the only person left after the war was me |
| [05:25.21] | I didn't see you around " |
| [05:35.19] | Well, now time passed and now it seems |
| [05:38.07] | Everybody's having them dreams |
| [05:41.79] | Everybody sees their self walkin' around with no one else |
| [05:49.36] | Half the people can be part right all of the time and |
| [05:54.54] | Some of the people can be all right part of the time but |
| [05:58.38] | All the people can't be all alright all of the time |
| [06:02.67] | I think Abraham Lincoln said that |
| [06:07.15] | "I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours", I said that “ |
