It's a longLong way from CanadaA long wayFrom snow chainsDonkey vendorsSlicing coconutNo parkas to their nameBlack babiesCovered in baking flourThe cook'sGot a carnival songWe're going to lay downSomeplace shadyWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandWalter RaleighAnd Chris ColumbusCome marchingOut of the wavesAnd claim the beachAnd all concessionsIn the nameOf the suntan slaveI wrappedThat flag around meLike aDorothy Lamour sarongAnd I lay downThinking nationalWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandGoodtime MaryAnd a fortune hunterAll dressed upTo follow the drumsMary in a featherHula-hoopMiss fortuneWith a roseOn her big game gunAll saintsAll sinners shiningHeed those trumpetsAll night longPropped upOn a samba beatWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandTar babyAnd the great white wonderTalking overAa glass of rumBurning on the insideWith the knowledgeOf things to comeThere's gambling outOn the terraceAnd midnightRamblin' on the lawnAs they leadToward temptationWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandIn a planeFlying back to winterIn shoesFull of tropic sandA ladyIn a foreign flagOn the arm of herMarlboro manThe hawk howlsIn New York CitySix foot driftsOn myrtle's lawnAs they pushThe recline buttons downWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamlandAfrican sandOn the trade windsAnd the sun on the amazonAs they pushThe reline buttons downWith dreamland coming onDreamland, dreamlandDreamland, dreamland
