      Sell Me a Dream

      Mr. Dream Merchant, please sell me a dream

      And please make it an expensive one.

      Cheapness is not for me.

      Please tailor it especially for me,

      No one else should it fit.

      Make it all cash, credit doesn’t seem to work.

      Maybe if I invest someone else’s hard-earned dollar,

      It may come true at last.

      Cash and carry is the way to go.

      Credit has too much interest and delay,

      And my credit score is too low anyway.

      Let it be lighting quick.

      I am running out of time

      And I need it like yesterday.

      I will put in a few more dollars,

      Please send it by express.

      My patience is running thin,

      And I can’t afford to lose this bid.

      Mr. Dream Merchant, I have no time to waste or wait,

      The anticipation is getting strong.

      Please send some painkillers,

      I don’t want to feel a thing.

      And please include some tranquilizers

      So I can pass the time with sleep.

      I have wasted a lot of years, and nothing have I gained.

      I don’t want to work too hard

      For success, easy does it, I say.

      Contrary to popular belief, laziness is my way.

      So while you are working on my dream,

      It would be grand if you can find

      Someone to dream, my dream for me.

      Don’t want to work too hard for success.

      Let me rest on my back relaxing under a shady tree.

      Sit me down in a cool meadow,

      Or in a cozy air-conditioned room

      Where I don’t have to sweat

      Just enjoy the luxurious lazy way.
