The Tiger Lillies Dreams song lyrics

He dreams that he is eating but he never eats a thing

He dreams that he is working he dreams that he does sing

But if you ever ask him there are no ifs and buts

The best dream that he’s ever had is that he did wake up

He dreams he is a hero he dreams he’s saved a life

He dreams he’s got a big house and a beautiful wife

But if you ever ask him there are no ifs and buts

The best dream that he’s ever had is that he did wake up

He dreams he’s got a country of which he is the king

That on his neck and on his wrist the diamonds they cling

But if you ever ask him there are no ifs and buts

The best dream that he’s ever had is that he did wake up

He didn’t wake up!
