(Tony Banks/Phil Collins)
|
Little Nemo rubbed his eyes and got out of bed,
|
trying hard to piece together a broken dream.
|
His visions lifelike and full of imagination
|
it's strange to think they came 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
|
they 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!"
