Little Nemo rubbed his eyes and got out of bed   Trying hard to piece together a broken dream   His visions lifelike and full of imagination   It's strange to think they came from such a tiny head      Dragons breathing fire, but friendly   Mushrooms tall as houses   Giant nymphs and goblins playing   Scenes from a night's dream, poor little Nemo      Eating all kinds of food so close to bedtime   They always made him have these nightmares, it seemed      Helped young Washington in the garden   Cut the cherry tree down   Now we all know that's not history   Scenes from a night's dream, poor little Nemo      Nemo, get out of bed   Don't tell me stories, I don't want to know   Come on you sleepy head, we're waiting to go      Once he went to the 'Carnival of Nations'   Dancing with the princess through the night      Found themselves on a moving platform   Ten ton weights above them   Seeking audience with King Morpheus   Scenes from a night's dream, poor little Nemo      Nemo, get out of bed   Don't tell me stories, I don't want to know   Come on you sleepy head, we're waiting to go
