The drummer started to play   But couldn’t stay on beat   He dropped one of his sticks   And then he fell off his seat    Without him keeping time   None could be kept   The song just fell apart   As he quietly slipped      Sweet dreams   To you my little one   Sweet dreams   You’re missing all the fun   Sweet dreams      When he finally awoke   In the county jail   One of his friends was there   With money for his bail   He collected his things   And stumbled towards the door   His hand just missed the knob   And he fell to the floor      Sweet dreams   Sweet dreams      Sweet dreams   To you my little one   Sweet dreams   You’re missing all the fun   Sweet dreams      Dreams   Sweet dreams are sad    Dreams   Sweet dreams are sad   Dreams   Sweet dreams are sad   Dreams   Sweet dreams are sad
