Tasty Tunes [Songs] - Traditionals
Cuckoo's Nest
Lyrics:
Dream, I dream a dream of you,
A tiny dancer in a field of blue,
A
pointed toe Tchaikovsky play,
To bend you down so lowly.
Its
your raven hair that makes me mad,
Your insane eyes that make me sad,
The California feeling and the Mississippi smile,
That make me come
on slowly.
It's trying to be real cool and soft,
So I won't
take a chance and turn you off,
And not to get to know you because of
love,
That makes me come on slowly.
It isn't that I wouldn't
want to make it all come true,
Oh baby, if I had a chance to be in
love with with you.
It's watching how you operate when the chips are
down,
That makes me come on slowly.
Notes:
