(Who am I? Why, I am the Peculiar Purple Pieman of Porcupine Peak, ya-ta da-tah ta-da!)
When I was but a sweet young cutie-pie I'd sleep like a baby through the night And though that sleep enhanced my beauty I would wake up with the feeling Something wasn't quite right
All the other kids had stories Nightly tales of wondrous glories But I saw that dreams Were not a gift for me
And I took this as a sign And vowed with all conviction That someday those dreamer's dreams Would be all mine!
These fluffy clouds, in pillow size Are dreams all packaged up And shipped away like pies
But since the dreams I crave Don't grow in groc'ry stores I think I'll steal A little dream of yours!
[Dreambuilders]
The dreams he craves Don't grow in groc'ry stores So now he'll steal A little dream of yours!
[Purple Pieman]
Yes, I'll take those Then these I think Then this and this - wait That's a nightmare Nightmares stink
So legend goes Yet no one knows Till one compares 'Til then, I'll steal A little dream of theirs!
[Dreambuilders]
He thinks he'll think That nightmares stink 'Til then he'll steal A little dream of theirs!
[Purple Pieman]
I dreamed of twenty gourmet bakers Baking endless trays of donuts And a clutch of pizza makers Kneading dough until they go nuts
I had choc'late soda fountains Spouting caramel-candy dishes Found a magic lamp, a genie And a life supply of wishes
All for me!
[Dreambuilders]
Needy, needy Hee hee hee! Greedy greedy
[Purple Pieman]
Look, it's me! Mighty me!
It isn't fair
[Dreambuilders]
Fair, no it ain't
[Purple Pieman]
But no complaint
[Dreambuilders]
He's such a saint
[Purple Pieman]
I'll use restraint
[Dreambuilders]
Don't make me faint
[Purple Pieman]
First I'll steal your little dreams Then unpeel your little dreams Then I'll beat your little dreams Defeat your dreams And cheat your little dreams
And you'll dream your dreamless sleep And your happiness I'll keep Along with ev'rything not nailed down to the floors!
So that ev'ry dream That's ever dreamed Is mine, all mine Not yours!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
