The drummer started to play But couldn't stay on beat He dropped one of his sticks And then he fell off his seat Without him keeping time None could be kept The song just fell apart As he quietly slipped Sweet dreams To you my little one Sweet dreams You're missing all the fun Sweet dreams When he finally awoke In the county jail One of his friends was there With money for his bail
He collected his things And stumbled towards the door His hand just missed the knob And he fell to the floor Sweet dreams Sweet dreams Sweet dreams To you my little one Sweet dreams You're missing all the fun Sweet dreams Dreams Sweet dreams are sad Dreams Sweet dreams are sad Dreams Sweet dreams are sad Dreams Sweet dreams are sad
