Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An' take off on the breeze
Let your worries flutter by
An' do the things you please
In a land where dollar bills
Are fallin' off the trees
On a dreamer's holiday!
There's a dish of scrambled stars
An' for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars
You'll be livin' a la mode
On Jupiter and Mars
On a dreamer's holiday!
Make it a long vacation
Time, there is plenty of
You need no reservation
Just bring along the one you love
Help yourself to happiness
An' sprinkle it with mirth
Close your eyes an' concentrate
An' dream for all you're worth
You will feel terrific
When you get back down to earth
From a dreamer's holiday!
(You, climb aboard a butterfly)
(An' take off on the breeze)
(Let your worries flutter by)
(An' do the things you please)
In a land where dollar bills
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!
(Every day for breakfast)
(There's a dish of scrambled stars)
(And for lunchin' you'll be munchin')
(Rainbow candy bars)
You'll be livin' a la mode
On Jupiter and Mars
On a dreamer's holiday!
Come on, we're gonna make it a long vacation
Time, there is plenty of
You need no reservation
Just bring along the one you love
Help yourself to happiness
An' sprinkle it with mirth
Close your eyes an' concentrate
An' dream for all you're worth
You will feel terrific
When you get back down to earth
From a dreamer's holiday!

Better Call Saul has really put me onto some good music

Today’s music could never compare to the beauty and quality of the past. Shame music like this isn’t common anymore, but at least we have our oldies to treasure and listen back on🥰 we are blessed to have such easy access to most songs digitally nowadays
Isaac
@George Richards nowadays music like this is used in the same way classical music in movies has often been used. It sets up the scene with something were familiar with, and the old-fashioned nature of the music adds to the melodrama.
Deimos
@George Richards I don't think that's true. Just like the old days had plenty of stinkers today has a lot of hits that may not be obvious to you. Since there's an infinite amount of music to listen to now it may be harder to find those hits, but they're there.

@George Richards beach house has 8 albums and like 90 songs as good as the old stuff :)
