An old man with nowhere to go | |||
Lay down at the side of the road | |||
He slept and dreamed he wasn't there | |||
And then he dreamed he was a millionaire | |||
It didn't snow or rain in the land of Cockayne | |||
It didn't snow or rain in the land of Cockayne | |||

Who said "I'll help you, but first think | |||
And tell me in your sorry plight | |||
Exactly what you dreamed last night | |||
The old man replied. He said, "I don't know why | |||
You care, I dreamed I was a millionaire | |||
The shrink explained what the dream had meant | |||
"Your dream has symbolic content: | |||
The millionaire is a symbol of your father." | |||

An old man with nowhere to go Lay down at the side of the road He slept and dreamed he wasn't there And then he dreamed he was a millionaire
It didn't snow or rain in the land of Cockayne It didn't snow or rain in the land of Cockayne
And after that old man awoke The first person to whom he spoke Was a psychoanalyst, a shrink Who said "I'll help you, but first think And tell me in your sorry plight Exactly what you dreamed last night The old man replied. He said, "I don't know why You care, I dreamed I was a millionaire
The shrink explained what the dream had meant "Your dream has symbolic content: The millionaire is a symbol of your father." "A symbol you say? Of my father?" The old man said, "That is so strange..." Then he asked the shrink for some change
It didn't snow or rain in the land of Cockayne It didn't snow or rain in the land of Cockayne
