[00:20.61]Some time ago a crazy dream came to me
[00:22.97]I dreamt I was walkin’
[00:24.37]Into World War Three
[00:25.20]
[00:26.61]I went to the doctor the very next day
[00:28.12]To see what kinda words he could say
[00:30.23]He said it was a bad dream
[00:31.42]
[00:34.43]I wouldn’t worry ’bout it none
[00:36.01]
[00:36.74]Though
[00:37.13]They were my own dreams
[00:38.09]And they’re only in my head
[00:39.50]
[00:49.03]I said “Hold it Doc
[00:50.03]A World War passed through my brain”
[00:51.99]He said “Nurse get your pad
[00:53.99]This boy’s insane”
[00:55.24]
[00:57.43]He grabbed my arm I said “Ouch ”
[00:59.66]As I landed on the psychiatric couch
[01:01.82]He said “Tell me about it”
[01:03.37]
[01:12.51]Well the whole thing started
[01:13.86]At 3 o’clock fast
[01:14.95]It was all over by quarter past
[01:16.39]
[01:18.35]I was down in the sewer
[01:19.54]With some little lover
[01:20.67]When I peeked out from a manhole cover
[01:22.25]
[01:24.09]Wondering who turned the lights on
[01:25.49]
[01:35.72]Well I got up
[01:36.56]And walked around
[01:37.09]And up and down the lonesome town
[01:39.22]
[01:43.42]I stood a-wondering
[01:43.91]Which way to go
[01:45.37]I lit a cigarette
[01:46.00]On a parking meter
[01:46.67]And walked on down the road
[01:48.48]
[01:50.38]It was a normal day
[01:51.35]
[02:02.79]Well I rung the fallout shelter bell
[02:04.00]And I leaned my head
[02:05.76]And I gave a yell
[02:06.75]
[02:08.24]“Give me a string bean
[02:09.27]I’m a hungry man”
[02:10.96]A shotgun fired and away I ran
[02:12.46]
[02:14.37]I don’t blame them too much though
[02:15.91]I know I look funny
[02:17.07]
[02:27.53]Down at the corner by a hot-dog stand
[02:28.86]I seen a man
[02:30.38]
[02:32.34]I said “Howdy friend
[02:33.62]I guess there’s just us two”
[02:35.74]He screamed a bit and away he flew
[02:37.21]
[02:38.81]Thought I was a Communist
[02:39.72]
[03:00.10]Well I spied a girl
[03:01.20]And before she could leave
[03:02.51]“Let’s go and play Adam and Eve”
[03:06.26]I took her by the hand
[03:07.28]And my heart it was thumpin’
[03:08.49]When she said “Hey man you crazy or sumpin’
[03:10.76]
[03:13.53]You see what happened last time they started”
[03:15.54]
[03:33.12]Well I seen a Cadillac window uptown
[03:34.64]
[03:35.45]And there was nobody aroun’
[03:37.15]
[03:38.45]I got into the driver’s seat
[03:40.35]And I drove down 42nd Street
[03:41.48]
[03:43.08]In my Cadillac
[03:43.99]
[03:46.12]Good car to drive after a war
[03:49.15]
[04:03.38]Well I remember seein’ some ad
[04:05.23]So I turned on my Conelrad
[04:06.61]
[04:07.59]But I didn’t pay my Con Ed bill
[04:09.89]So the radio didn’t work so well
[04:11.67]
[04:13.21]Turned on my record player—
[04:14.55]
[04:16.96]It was Rock-a-day Johnny singin’
[04:19.95]“Tell Your Ma Tell Your Pa
[04:21.39]
[04:21.97]Our Love’s A-gonna Grow Ooh-wah Ooh-wah”
[04:24.80]
[04:38.81]I was feelin’ kinda lonesome and blue
[04:40.70]I needed somebody to talk to
[04:42.08]
[04:43.76]So I called up the operator of time
[04:45.88]Just to hear a voice of some kind
[04:47.45]
[04:51.18]“When you hear the beep
[04:52.83]It will be three o’clock”
[04:54.28]
[04:54.99]She said that for over an hour
[04:56.31]
[04:56.84]And I hung up
[04:57.66]
[05:10.34]Well the doctor interrupted me just about then
[05:12.41]Sayin’ “Hey I’ve been havin’
[05:14.66]The same old dreams
[05:15.40]
[05:16.77]But mine was a little different you see
[05:18.32]
[05:19.53]I dreamt that the only person left
[05:21.25]After the war was me
[05:22.27]
[05:23.53]I didn’t see you around”
[05:25.00]
[05:33.84]Well now time passed and now it seems
[05:35.73]
[05:36.39]Everybody’s having them dreams
[05:37.96]
[05:40.12]Everybody sees themselves
[05:41.08]
[05:42.03]Walkin’ around with no one else
[05:43.66]
[05:47.50]Half of the people can be
[05:48.66]
[05:49.55]Part right all of the time
[05:50.74]
[05:52.73]Some of the people can be
[05:54.14]All right part of the time
[05:55.24]
[05:56.92]But all of the people can’t be
[05:58.55]All right all of the time
[05:59.80]
[06:00.99]I think Abraham Lincoln said that
[06:02.49]
[06:05.08]“I’ll let you be in my dreams
[06:06.81]If I can be in yours”
[06:08.29]I said that
