A Dreamer's Holiday
Bing Crosby feat. Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let your worries flutter by and do the things you please
In the land where dollar bills are falling off the trees
On a dreamer's holiday
Every day for breakfast there's a dish of scrambled stars
And for luncheon you'll be munchin' rainbow candy bars
You'll be livin' a la mode on Jupiter or Mars
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 and sprinkle it with mirth
Close your eyes and concentrate, and dream for all you're worth
You will feel terrific when you get back down to earth
From 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 and sprinkle it with mirth
Close your eyes and concentrate, and dream for all you're worth
You will feel terrific when you get back down to earth
From a dreamer's holiday

The song talks about a fantasy world where dollar bills are falling off the trees instead of leaves, there's a dish of scrambled stars for breakfast, and rainbow candy bars for lunch. The imagery painted is that of living on Jupiter or Mars with an upbeat tempo that is sure to make anyone feel better.
The vivid words create a setting of unparalleled happiness and joy, removing all traces of stress and replacing them with simple pleasures. The song advocates for taking a long vacation where time is plentiful, and there's no need for reservations.
