Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Dreams

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!
