Kula Shaker - Farewell Beautiful Dreamer lyrics
[Kula Shaker - Farewell Beautiful Dreamer lyrics]
In the shade of a cherry plum tree
Slept a Yankee doodle dandy
Dreaming of the buffalo days
And the ghosts of the Iroquois braves, oh!
He rode his pony to town
But the actors were pulling it down
All the statues lay in the street
With the crows pecking round at their feet
So he put a feather in his cap
Turned around and never looked back
Tra la la la la la la
So farewell beautiful dreamer
Time to rise and shine your love to the world
Farewell beautiful dreamer
Time to rise and shine your love to the world
Farewell beautiful dreamer
In the shade of a cherry plum tree
Slept a Yankee doodle dandy
Dreaming of the buffalo days
And the ghosts of the Iroquois braves, oh!
The ghosts of the Iroquois braves
And the songs of the African slaves
And the witches burned at the stake
And of Moses parting the waves
Leading his children out of their cages
Tra la la la la la la
In the shade of a cherry plum tree
Slept a Yankee doodle dandy
Dreaming of the buffalo days
And the ghosts of the Iroquois braves, oh!
He rode his pony to town
But the actors were pulling it down
All the statues lay in the street
With the crows pecking round at their feet
So he put a feather in his cap
Turned around and never looked back
Tra la la la la la la
So farewell beautiful dreamer
Time to rise and shine your love to the world
Farewell beautiful dreamer
Time to rise and shine your love to the world
Farewell beautiful dreamer
In the shade of a cherry plum tree
Slept a Yankee doodle dandy
Dreaming of the buffalo days
And the ghosts of the Iroquois braves, oh!
The ghosts of the Iroquois braves
And the songs of the African slaves
And the witches burned at the stake
And of Moses parting the waves
Leading his children out of their cages
Tra la la la la la la
In the shade of a cherry plum tree
