1
Long time ago a crazy dream came to me
I dreamt i's walkin' in world war III
I went to the doctor the very next day
To see what [kind of words(w)] he had to say
He said it was a bad dream.
["I wouldn't worry about it none, you know
He said "Them dreams are only in your head."] (c)
2
I said "Hold it doc, a world war passed [through] my brains."
He said "Nurse, get your pad, the boy's insane"
He grabbed my arm an' i [said / yelled(ny)] "Ouch!"
As i landed hard on the psychiatric couch
He said "Tell me about it."
3
Well the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast
It was all over by a quarter past
I's down in the sewer with some little lover
When i peeped out from a manhole cover
Wonderin' who turned the lights on us.
4
Well i got up an' walked around
Up and down the lonesome town
Just wonderin' which way to go
I lit a cigarette on the parkin' meter
An' walked on down the road
It was a normal day [just like any other one(ny)].
5
Well i rung me a fallout shelter bell
An' i leaned my head an' i gave a big yell
"Give me a [string bean / tv dinner(ny)], i'm a hungry man"
A shot gun fired an' away i ran
I don't blame him though, he didn't know me.
/ He didn't know me so I don't blame him. (ny)
6
Down the corner i [spied me a man(c)/ seen another man(w)]
/ Well i spied me another man (ny)
Turnin' [around / the corner(ny)] by the hot dog stand
I said "Howdy friend, I guess there's just us two."
He screamed a bit an' away he flew
/ He screamed an' down the road he flew (ny)
[He] thought i was a communist.
7
Well i [spied / found(w)] me a girl and before she could leave
I said "Let's go an' play Adam 'n' Eve"
I took her by the hand an' my heart was thumpin'
But she said "Hey man, are you crazy or somethin'
You seen what happened last time they started."
8 verse skipped in Carnegie Hall concert(ny)
Well i looked into a car window uptown (c)
An' spied me a Cadillac with noone around
/ Well i spied me a Cadillac window uptown (w)
/ I saw a Cadillac with 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.
9
I remember seen some newspaper ad
So i turned on my conelrad
But i didn't pay [my / the] Con Ed bill
So the radio didn't work so well
I turned on my record player
It was Fabian singin'
[ "Tell your ma, tell your pa
Our love's a-gonna grow, ooh-wah, ooh-wah." ] (c,w)
[ "Ah, you love me and i love you
Our love's a-gonna grow, shoo-be-doo, shoo-be-doo." ] (ny)
10
I was [gettin' (c)/ feelin' (w,ny) kinda(w)] 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 3 o'clock"
She said that for over one hour an' i hung up.
11
Well the doctor interrupted me just about then
Sayin' "I've been havin' the same ol' dream
But mine was a little different, don't you see
I dreamt the only person left after the war was me
I didn't see your around (c,w) / And you were around nowhere (ny)."
12
Well time passes an' now it seems everybody's havin' 'em dreams
Everybody see themselves walkin' around with [no one / nobody] else
[ Some of the people can be half right all of the time
All of the people can be part right some of the time ] (c)
[ All of the people can be half right part of the time
Part of the peolple can be some right all of the time ] (w)
[ All of the people can be half right some of the time
Some of the people can be all right part of the time
And part of the people can be some right all of the time ] (ny)
But all the people can't be all right all the time
Abraham Lincoln said that.
"I'll let you be in my dream if i can be in yours", I said that.
