Lyrics
Chorus
Take in the sun
Hang out the moon
And rock me in a cradle of dreams
I wanna see those dear to me
It’s the only time I’m happy it seems
Let my little “Train of thoughts”
Go travlin’ back once more
To a place I’m always longing for
Oh, won’t you take in the sun
Hang out the moon
And rock me in a cradle of dreams
Patter
Saw a bob-o-link flying ’round the hills
Asked the bob-o-link, “How’s the whippoorwills?”
Ho! ho! ho! ain’t that dreaming?
Saw a little frog swimmin’ in a pond
Asked the little frog, “How you getting on?”
Ho! ho! ho! ain’t that dreaming?
Those are the things that I dream about
Can anybody blame me when I shout?
Take in the sun, hang out the moon
And rock me in a cradle of dreams
