Spoken:
I’ll show you how to own the moon
And how to bounce the world just like a toy balloon.
I’ll show you how to have your way
And help yourself to wishes on a silver tray.
Someday we’ll fly to Bali Ha’i
Or any other island you would like to buy;
You can travel cheap when you’re fast asleep
‘Cause it doesn’t cost a dime to dream.
We’ll line our walls with dollar bills
And use the wrinkled ones to wipe our windowsills.
Pour our old champagne down the kitchen drain.
It doesn’t cost a dime to dream.
We will call at the president’s family residence,
Pay off the national debt.
And if we find the president slightly hesitant,
We’ll say we have a lot left yet!
A fancy home, why that’s a snap.
To get from room to room we’ll have to have a map.
Just to see this prize only close your eyes.
It doesn’t cost a dime to dream.
We play roulette, we place our bets,
We lose a million bucks and cut out cigarettes {crêpes suzettes.}
Call the U.S. mind, what we need they’ll print
‘Cause it doesn’t cost a dime to dream.
We’ll have a maid who has a maid
Who has a maid to serve the maids lemonade.
We will spend our dough just like H-2-O.
It doesn’t cost a dime to dream.
We will call at the president’s family residence,
Pay off the national debt.
And if we find the president slightly hesitant,
We’ll say we have a lot left yet!
To keep our dog in perfect trim
We’ll have a butler and a footman just for him.
We will splash with vim in the social swim,
Be the finest fishes in the stream.
I can see it now,
‘Course I don’t know how,
But it doesn’t cost a dime to dream.
It doesn’t cost a dime to dream. |
