Hit the Road to Dreamland
Journey to Dreamland: A Musical Farewell
Lyrics
Bye bye baby
Parting salutation, saying goodbye to someone special.
Time to hit the road to dreamland
Expressing the need to go to the world of dreams.
You're my baby
Reassuring the person being addressed that they are cherished.
Dig you in the land of nod
Imagery of being comfortably nestled in the world of sleep.
Hold tight baby
Encouraging the person to hold on or embrace the dream experience.
We'll be swinging up in dreamland
Anticipating a joyful and lively time in the dreamland.
All night baby
Expressing the desire to spend the entire night in the dream world.
Where the little cherubs trot
Describing dreamland as a place where cherubs (angelic beings) walk.
Look at that knocked out moon
Observing the moon in a state of enchantment or awe.
Been a-blowing his top in the blue
Suggesting the moon is overwhelmed or ecstatic in the dreamy atmosphere.
Never saw the likes of you
Expressing admiration for someone unique or extraordinary.
Bye bye baby
Repeating the goodbye sentiment, signaling the departure for dreamland.
Time to hit the road to dreamland
Reiterating the need to embark on the journey to dreamland.
Don't cry baby
Advising not to be sad about leaving, acknowledging the transient nature of the dream.
It was divine but the rooster has finally crowed
Describing the experience as divine but recognizing the waking world with the mention of a crowing rooster.
Time to hit the road
Confirming the decision to leave for dreamland.
Bye bye baby
Repeating the farewell, emphasizing the departure.
Bye bye baby
Repeating the farewell for emphasis.
Well it was divine but the cuckoo has finally crowed
Recalling the divine experience but noting the intrusion of reality with the crowing cuckoo.
Time to hit the road Time to hit the road
Repeating the urgency to hit the road, reinforcing the departure.
Time to hit the road.
Concluding the message with a final emphasis on the need to leave for dreamland.
