Talkin' World War III Blues
Some time ago a crazy dream came to me,
I dreamt I was walkin' in World War III,
I went to the doctor the very next day
To see what kinda words he could say.
He said it was a bad dream.
I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though,
Them ol' dreams are only in your head . . .
. . . Well, I seen me a Cadillac window uptown
And there was nobody aroun',
I got into the driver's seat
And I drove down 42nd Street
In my Cadillac.
Good car to drive after a war . . .
