lyrics

"Lucy In The Sky With Desi"

Daddy went to heaven
When I knew him ‘bout as well as me
Said goodbye to Mamma for the moment
But I made do camped out in make believe
Freddy not to worry can you meet me out in Hollywood?
Don’t forget DeDe, Grandpa Hunt and Cleo

Lilacs purple daisy field
One more ride up on that Ferris Wheel…so high
Where’s our Disneyland gone this morn’?
Someday maybe we’ll cry more

Lordy would you get a load
of Little Latin Lancelot
Tell’in me with all kind of courage
Maybe we had met somewhere
So we’ll go to Greenwich
You can buy me a dime store ring
‘Cause it’s all I need Cuban Pete
And I hope you miss your Sally Sweet

Put a butterfly in your hair
Shine on Tessie
Paint a gray town carrot-pink
And yellow, Lilly white
Go to sleep on pillows soft

Hands are shakin’
Got a sickle cuttin’ into me
Don’t care much for a party
Where they only serve up Stoli
How could Tango Red
Ever give me this scare?
But I swear I bleed blue as Franklin D.
Bless you God be with me

Let a tear my Desi fill your eye
Sing to me your sweetest “Rock-a-Bye Baby”
Now this all elusive bird shall land
In our blessed Valley grand
