As recorded by DORIS DAY:

Midnight, look at that steeple
It's midnight, unhappy people
It's ringing with joy
It's ringing with cheer
'Cause yesterday's gone
Tomorrow is near

Midnight
The heart is lighter at midnight
Things will be brighter
The moment you find
More of your kind
On the street of dreams

Love laughs at a king
Kings don't mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams

Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is in the moonbeams
Poor, no one is poor
Long as love is sure
On the street of dreams

As recorded by THE INK SPOTS:

Love laughs at a king,
Kings don't mean a thing,
On the street of dreams.
Dreams broken in two,
Can be made like new,
On the street of dreams.
Gold, silver and gold,
All you can hold,
Is in the moonbeams.
Poor, no one poor,
Long as love is sure,
On the street of dreams.

(Spoken)
Love laughs at a king,
`cos Kings don't mean a thing,
On the street of dreams.
Dreams that's all broken in two
You can make `em just like new
On the street of dreams
Now you take gold, silver and gold
All that you can hold
Is way up yonder in the moonbeams
Poor? Ain't nobody poor
Long as love is sure
On that old street of dreams

(Sung)
Love laughs at a king,
Kings don't mean a thing,
On the street of dreams.
Dreams broken in two,
Can be made like new,
On the street of dreams.
Gold, silver and gold,
All you can hold,
Is in the moonbeams.
Poor, no one is poor,
Long as love is sure,
On the street of dreams.
