Lyrics
Girl:
I dreamed that I was Queen of France
And, at a royal palace dance
I waltzed all night with the Prince of Timbuctoo
He praised my beauty to the skies
And, when I looked into his eyes
I realized the Prince looked just like you
I dreamed that I was Queen of Spain
A-sailing on the bounding main
When a lofty pirate ship hove into view
A handsome buccaneer so bold
Then captured me and all my gold
I let him hold me ’cause he looked like you
I dreamed that I was Princess of Bombay
Inspecting my army one Monday
A thousand men came marching by
Each looked like you, each winked his eye
Gee, I wish I could have slept till Sunday
I dreamed that at my coronation
I shocked every foreign nation
Giving up my throne to marry you
‘Cause I’d be queen of all the world
The day you say that I’m your girl
And every dream I dream comes true
Boy:
I dreamed that I was King of France
And, at a royal palace dance
I waltzed all night with the Princess of Peru
I praised her beauty to the skies
And, when I looked into her eyes
I realized the Princess looked like yoyu
I dreamed that I was King of Spain
And thru the jungles wet with rain
I conquered all the land in Tumbuctoo
Among the captive girls I took
Was one who had that special look
I looked again and saw she looked like you
I dreamed I was Sultan of Bombay
Inspecting my harem one Monday
A thousand dancing maidens fair
each had your eyes, your lips, your hair
Gee, I wish I could have slept till Sunday
I dreamed that at my coronation
I shocked every foreign nation
Giving up my throne to marry you
‘Cause I’d be king of all the world
The day you say that you’re my girl
And every dream I dream comes true
