1. Jack Jones (born Jan. 14, 1938, in Hollywood, Calif.) is a traditional pop singer, perhaps best known for his songs "I've Got Your Number" and "Wives and Lovers". The only son of actors Allan Jones and Irene Hervey, he released his first album in 1959 on Capitol Records, but he didn't find success until he moved to Kapp Records in the early 60s. During that decade, he was rated highly by contemporaries such as Frank Sinatra. Judy Garland even reportedly called him the best jazz singer in the world, though Jones was always a straight pop singer (even with contemporary material) and merely ventured in the direction of jazz. He has won two Grammy Awards.

Having toured for decades since his 60s heyday, Jones still performs concerts around the world and remains popular on the casino circuit. Many of his tunes are included in various mutli-artist compliation albums. Some of his best-known songs are "The Impossible Dream," " "Wives And Lovers" (1964 Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance)," "The Race Is On," "Lollipops and Roses" (1962, Grammy Award, Best Pop Male Performance), "Lady," and "The Love Boat Theme".

Hit the Road to Dreamland
Jack Jones Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bye bye baby
Time to hit the road to dreamland
You're my baby

Dig you in the land of nod

Hold tight baby
We'll be swinging up in dreamland

All night baby

Where the little cherubs trot

Look at that knocked out moon
Been a-blowing his top in the blue

Never saw the likes of you

Bye bye baby
Time to hit the road to dreamland
Don't cry baby
It was divine but the rooster has finally crowed

Time to hit the road

Bye bye baby

Bye bye baby

Well it was divine but the cuckoo has finally crowed

Time to hit the road Time to hit the road
Time to hit the road.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jack Jones's song Hit the Road to Dreamland are about a couple bidding each other goodnight and heading off to sleep. The singer is telling their partner that it's time to hit the road to dreamland, which is a metaphor for going to sleep. The singer is addressing their partner as "baby" throughout the song, which adds a sense of intimacy and affection to their conversation. The singer reassures their partner that they'll both be cuddled up and swinging together in dreamland, where little cherubs trot around. The reference to cherubs is a nod to the idea of angels watching over people as they sleep.

The lyrics also mention a "knocked out moon" which suggests that the person is looking outside and seeing a full moon that's so bright and radiant it looks like it's been knocked out of the sky. This could also imply that the moon is providing a beautiful light for the couple's dreamland experience. The song ends with the rooster crowing, which indicates that morning is near, and it's time to hit the road and start a new day.
