Elephants mind, mister you-dont-have,
you're forgiven to fly, darlin, when you sleep
Elephant mind missy you dont have
you're forgetting to fly, darlin, when you sleep
Every night I arrest my bed
or
Every night I rest in my bed
Every night I rush to my bed
Go Ricki Lake
Don't make me wait
I ain't got no hair.
I ain't going nowhere.
I got a sweet dream of Riverdancing
Don't make me win
Don't make me win
I got a sweet dream of rhythm and passion
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
I wanna see if tonight is my sweet dream
I wanna see you tonight in my sweet dreams
I want to see you denied in my sweet dreams
I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams
Keep dancing hot
Keep dancing hard
Rhythm is a creation,
a bad ass sensation
Rhythm is a creation,
a better sensation
Sweet dreams of rivermen dancing,
sweet dreams are dancin' through the Nile
Sweet dreams of rhythm and dancing,
sweet dreams of dancing through the night
This is the time when you need a drink
This is the time when you need a friend
This is the time when you need a prayer
This is the time when you need a friend
When you need to pray
When you need a friend
You say, you say
You say that you have it
I said, 'Jambalaya!'
You say, you say
You say that you have 'em
I say that you're a liar.
You say, you say
You say that you have them
I say, 'Jambalaya!'
You say, you say
You say that you have them
I say that you're a liar.
