Lyrics:

[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 wouldn’t 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 boy’s 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 o’clock 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 a-wondering 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, I’m a hungry man”

A shotgun fired, and away I ran

I don’t blame him too much though, he didn't know me

[Verse 6]

Down at the corner by the hot-dog stand

I seen a man

I said “Howdy friend, I guess there’s 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 “Let’s 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 driver’s 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 didn’t pay the Con Ed bill

So the radio didn’t work so well

Turned on my record player —

It was Rock-a-day Johnny, singing “Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa

Our Love’s A-going to Grow, Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah”

[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 three o’clock”

She said that for over an hour

And I hung up

[Verse 11]

Well, the doctor interrupted me just about then

Saying “Hey I’ve 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 didn’t see you around"

[Verse 12]

Well, now time passed and now it seems

Everybody’s 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 can’t be all right all of the time"

I think Abraham Lincoln said that

“I’ll let you be in my dream if I can be in yours”

I said that
