Ladies, head over to the cool green of my backyard. There's plenty of room on the porch. Grab yourself an icy lemonade and a seat in the shade of the trellis, heavy with summer's roses. The cats are lazing, the dog is napping, and my rhubarb pie is cooling on the window sill.
(Anita, will you bring the ice cream?)
It's time to gather 'round the radio for Perry and the gals!
Dreamer's Holiday
1949
Music by Mabel Wayne
Lyrics by Kim Gannon
Performed by Perry Como & The Fontane Sisters
* * * *
Climb aboard a butterfly
An' take off on the breeze
Let your worries flutter by
An' do the things you please
In a land where dollar bills
Are fallin' off the trees
On a dreamer's holiday!
Everyday for breakfast
There's a dish of scrambled stars
An' for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars
You'll be livin' a la mode
On Jupiter and Mars
On a dreamer's holiday!
Make it a long vacation
Time there is plenty of
You need no reservation
Just bring along the one you love!
Help yourself to happiness
An' sprinkle it with mirth
Close your eyes an' concentrate
An' dream for all you're worth
You will feel terrific
When you get back down to earth
From a dreamer's holiday!

ReplyDeleteWill I give away my age if I admit to having listened to Perry Como on tv many times growing up. I forgot how pleasant his voice was! Twyla
