Sweet Dreams Baby

She smelled of a succulent honeydew 
And her blush was that of a beet 
But lardy when she kissed me 
My heart nearly fell to my feet 
Her pretty brown eyes blinking 
Her sweet lips pressed upon mine 
Heaven has just opened the door 
And caused that sun to brightly shine 
This feeling is one I’ve never known  
But one that I pray stays real close 
As she takes me out of this world 
Somewhere up among the cosmos 
My legs feel like blades of wavy grass 
Swaying and almost falling down 
Here I was in the arms of love 
With the sweetest girl around 
Then I awoke and cried myself silly 
And cursed the dream to hell 
And swore one day I was gonna break 
That awful ringing dinner bell 
There I was in her arms 
Her kisses where mine alone 
But now I’m just a shaggy old dog 
With nothing but a an old chicken bone
