HAVE A LITTLE DREAM ON ME
Phil Baxter (m) John P Murray (l)

Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm   
rec Aug 17th 1934 New York


How'd'ya like a mansion in Manhattan
And a cosy cottage by the sea?
How'd'ya like to dress in silk and satin?
Baby, have a little dream on me.


How'd you like to mingle with the smart set
And invite the Vanderbilts to tea?
Everything on which you've got your heart set,
Baby, have a little dream on me.


Paris in the Spring,
Miami in the Fall,
Interviews and pictures in the press.
What a way to speak
On twenty bucks a week!
Don't forget that Rockefeller started out on less!


Everything we touch will turn to clover
In the magic land of what's to be,
But until your baby puts it over,
Baby, have a little dream on me.


(yes!)


(well all right then!)


Everything we touch will turn to clover
In the magic land of what's to be,
Till your daddy puts it over, skip it,
Baby, have a dream on me, yes!
