Yeah, ya, yeah Yeah, ya, yeah oh I would dig a hole all the way to China Unless of course I was there Then I'd dig my way home If by digging, I could steal The wind from the sails of the greedy men who ruled the world Still you my best friend And after a good good drunk You and me Wake up and make love after a deep sleep Where I was dreaming I was dreaming of a dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl Well I was feeling like a creep As I watched you asleep Face down in the grass In the park in the middle of a hot afternoon Your top was untied And I thought 'how nice it'll be the fall of your sweat down your spine' You're my best friend Or after a good good drunk You and me Wake up and make love after a deep sleep Where I was dreaming I was dreaming of a dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl, dreamgirl Caught by the wave my back to the ocean It knocks me off my feet, just as I find my footing Here you come again, dreamgirl, oh dreamgirl That's all dreamgirl, but a dreamgirl, dreamgirl, oh wait dreamgirl In my dreams dreamgirl, I'm dreaming dream girl Deep in, deep in
