Cricket - Clifford T. Ward

Dreams are funny aren’t they?

Last night I dreamt that World War three had been declared

The BBC gave it out

An' then they gave the cricket score

England were all out for seventy-one

And the West Indies had made 'em bat on

Dreams are funny aren’t they?

Last night I dreamt that the end of the world had come

The BBC gave it out

An' then they gave the cricket score

England were all out for nil

And the West Indies had made 'em bat on

Dreams are funny aren’t they?

Last night I dreamt that America had made the UK the 52nd

Or is it the 53rd state? — oh I don’t know

The BBC gave it out

An' then they gave the cricket score

England were all out for fifty-one

And the West Indies had made 'em bat on (and on)

Dreams are funny aren’t they? Ah they’re hilarious

Last night I dreamt that Labour had won the election

The BBC gave it out

An' then they gave the cricket score

The West Indies were all out for a hundred and thirty four

An' our England sighed with relief

Dreams are funny aren’t they?

Dreams are funny aren’t they?

Dreams are funny aren’t they?
