Текст песни: Dreamland + перевод

It’s a long long way to Canada

It’s a long way from bow chains

Donkey venders slicing coconut

No parkas to their name

Black babies covered in baking flour

The cook’s got a carnival song

Lay down someplace shady

With Dreamland coming on

Dreamland, dream on Dreamland

Walter Raleigh, Chris Columbus

Come a-marchin' out of the waves

And they claim the beach and concessions

In the name of the sun-tan slaves

I wrapped their flag around me

Like an Errol Flynn sarong

And I laid down thinking national

With Dreamland coming on

Goodtime Mary and the lady soldiers

Talking over a glass of rum

Burning on the inside

With a knowledge of things to come

There’s gambling out on the terrace

Midnight rambling on the lawn

As they lean towards temptation

With Dreamland coming on

In a plane flying back to winter

With shoes full of tropic sand

There comes a lady in a foreign flag

On the arm of her Marlboro man

The hawk howls in New York City

Six-foot drifts on Myrtle’s lawn

As they push the recline buttons down

With Dreamland coming on

African sand on the Trade Winds

On the sun on the Amazon

As they lean towards temptation

With Dreamland coming on
