Sweet dreams are made of this...
Imagine a marshmallow mountain
Surrounded by mounds of marmalade
Cotton candy clouds drifting over
Fields of fresh blueberry muffins
A river of maple syrup slowly flows
Between broad banks of rock candy
Where the Swedish fish swim freely
And the gummi bears eat only honey
A candy-covered carousel spins
Peppermint-stick ponies bobbing
As a chocolate calliope chuffs-out
A simple, bright, sugar-sweet song
I dance with fair strawberry
Then raspberry takes a twirl
Eager blackberry goes next
While banana awaits her turn
There’s my gingerbread house
With the fancy ribbon-candy roof
My graham cracker walk is lined
With eight caramel apple trees
Inside the floors are tiled in toffee
My lemon tart couch has custard cushions
My sponge-cake bed has meringue pillows
Where I lay down and have sweet dreams
I dream dreams of many colors
Oranges and purples, plum or grape
Lemon-lime greens and yellows
And fine fresh pineapple golds
Sweet dreams are made of this...
