So I slept through the whole hockey game
Saturday morning at Purleigh
Nothing is doing while Fern is away
She gets me out of this blast barricade
We saw Mrs. Parkington down at the Dominion
And Practically Yours at the Plaza
Can't Help from Singing just takes me to dreaming
Of making our home in Canada
You're in technicolor, all these shows, it gets me out, I'm glad to go
In dreams you are the wizard all in emerald
You're in technicolor, all these dreams, the barracks empty, rifles clean
In shows you are the young, distracted general
Sidney Simone put on a show
Saturday night with Carl Barriteau
We wore our gowns down to the floor
Of Hammersmith Palais
I take a turn, always looking for suitors for Fern
Though it don't mean a thing to her
He was sunny and sweet but he had two left feet
It was nothing like dancing with you
You're in technicolor, all these shows, it gets me out, I'm glad to go
In dreams you are the wizard all in emerald
You're in technicolor, all these dreams, the barracks empty, rifles clean
In shows you are the young, distracted general
