Hey look at me I’m a dancing bear And I bow to a gypsy king He taught me everything y know And he plays a mean tambourine
So he got a gold ring in his ear I got a brass one in my nose For any mother’s son for any mamma’s cub That’s the way it goes
I like my life it’s all I know There’s nothing that I lack So why do I dream Of the bark of a tree To scratch my back And figure out Why I groove on rainbow trout
Dreams dreams dreams Recurrent dreams Why do I have these dreams Right foot in And right foot out
That’s what it’s all about Dreams dreams
I watch the world go by Thru the bars of my mobil home Why ain’t I satisfied What do you mean by yellowstone
Now he’s got a foulard made of silk I got a collar I’ve got a chain But he drives our car he pays my bills I only dance when it doesn’t rain
Like any bear I ever seen Midway’s where I was raised But why do I dream Of sweet running streams So cool to wade and
Tell me why I get so sleepy in wintertime
Dreams dreams dreams Recurrent dreams Why do I have these dreams Left foot in And left foot out That’s what it’s all about Dreams dreams
He’s got a lunch box I got a pail I climb a ladder he plays the drum He got a moustache I got a tail We just doing like we always done
