I shuck and jive I'm a jumping bean should raindrops fall I'd glide between I'm swimming in glimmering light from above she says Charles you've lost your marbles or you must be in love
I'm drifting downstream please don't wake me from my dream
my mustache is pencil thin my corsage big as a bowling pin the man in the moon says I'm cheese would you like a slice of me? then he pulls out a kazoo and plays Rhapsody In Blue in major C
I'm picking up steam please don't wake me from my dream
the band plays in a gazebo bells and bows go to and fro dip a quill in the night and write the words to speak words are for the birds when we're cheek to cheek
I'm climbing moonbeams please don't wake me from my dream
