I dreamt of you white stockings
Your pointed leather boots
I slept on barefooted
One of my many moves

I dreamt of your pink handkerchief
The way you blew your nose
I’ve caught a cold today
I smelled the catching rose


I never dreamt I’d dream of you
Until I fell asleep
To sleep seems to be good for you 
I always counted sheep  

I braught  them to the zoo
To dream of you

I dreamt of your red berry
Your very feathered hat
I slept on bareheaded
My hair is already dead

I dreamt of your gold necklace
It turned you into a queen
But I, I became a beggar
I had to quit the scene

I never dreamt dreams could be cruel
Till you shook me away
To be drunk with sleep is bad for you
I knew I had these snakes

I braught them to the zoo 
Got rid of you  

His mind is counting sheep
My mind is counting sheep
He’s blind of love and weeps
I’m blind of love and weep
Fish are swimming in his pool
Fish are swimming in my pool
They knew him from the zoo
They knew me from the zoo
The dreams he dreams are blue
The dreams I dream are blue
Like sky without a cloud
Like sky without a cloud
Birds are flying high and proud
Birds are flying high and proud
 Because they knew him too
Because they knew me too

There’s nothing left to do
Than join the zoo
