I bet you all the money in my pocketsThat I have a dollar and a dreamThe dream might cost me twoSo I'm begging youTo dream with me so I can dream a dreamMy fingers on the fencepost going tap tap tap......And I told you about the suffering in the streetI gave your string of pearls to some rabid little girlsIn hopes tonight that I might dream their dreamDiamond Joe is sweeping out the alleyHe's always whistling tunes and tempting meWith whiskey and a smokeAnd I never understand his jokesBut his punch lines all come to me in my dreamAnd I'd bet you all the pigeons in my cityAnd I'd bet you the shoes upon my feetThat if it rains tonightI will fall from the skyAnd I may finally get to dream a dream Aus Songtexte Mania
