Trying hard to piece together a broken dream
 His visions lifelike and full of imagination
 It's strange to think they come from such a tiny head

 Dragons breathing fire, but friendly
 Mushrooms tall as houses
 Giant nymphs and goblins playing
 Scenes from a night's dream, poor Little Nemo!

 Eating all kinds of food so close to bedtime
 Always made him have these nightmares it seemed

 Helped young Washington in the garden
 Cut the cherry tree down
 Now we all know that's not history
 Scenes from a night's dream, poor Little Nemo!

 "Nemo, get out of bed!"
 "Don't tell me stories, I don't want to know!"
 "Come on you sleepy head, we're waiting to go!"

 Once he went to the "Carnival of Nations"
 Dancing with the princess through the night

 Found themselves on a moving platform
 Ten ton weights above them
 Seeking audience with King Morpheus
 Scenes from a night's dream, poor Little Nemo!

 "Nemo, get out of bed!"
 "Don't tell me stories, I don't want to know!"
 "Come on you sleepy head, we're waiting to go
