Rain is splashing against the window
And the storm is knocking on the door
Across a crowded room Herman B on the radio
Singer sounds like a broken life cracked by booze and dope
Must be a different wave length that was tightened up the rope
Mama won't you buy me a dream
The sweetest dream that you've ever seen
The one with a happy ending
Mama won't you buy me a dream
The singer in the backseat knew he couldn't take it no more
He knew he never made it to the town next in line for the show
There's nog enough kindness in this world
A wise man once said
All in a sudden he knew he was ready for the final flash
Mama won't you buy me a dream
The sweetest dream that you've ever seen
The one with a happy ending
Mama won't you buy me a dream
Mama won't you buy me a dream
The sweetest dream that you've ever seen
The one with a happy ending
Mama won't you buy me a dream
Mama won't you buy me a dream
Mama won't you buy me a dream
