John Wesley Harding
Gentleman’s Dream
[Verse 1]
Juliet said to the night air
'Wherefore art thou Romeo? '
He was beneath the balcony
Hearing a word he didn't know
Romeo said to Juliet
"What does 'Wherefore' mean?"
Juliet said "Why
We're only a gentleman's dream"
[Refrain]
Gentleman's dream
We're only a gentleman's dream
[Verse 2]
Snow White said to Cinders
"Well, the prince is always gone
Fighting wars and inviting whores
To sing him love's sweet song"
Cinders said to Snow White
"Charming's only letting off steam
He's a gentleman
And we're only a gentleman's dream"
[Refrain]
Gentleman's dream
We're only a gentleman's dream (Let's go)
[Verse 3]
Amy said to the warden
"When I turn on my TV
There's always someone I recognise
But they're much better looking than me"
Warden said, "Lolita
You're a star of the stage and screen
Crime pays
You're only a gentleman's dream"
[Refrain]
Gentleman's dream
You're only a gentleman's dream
[Verse 4]
Carmen said to the Butterfly
'Well, how come every night
I submit to my lover's will
And walk on to that knife?"
Butterfly said, "Well, don't you know
You're a symbol in some scheme
So get a life
Well, you're only a gentleman's dream"
[Refrain]
Gentleman's dream
You're only a gentleman's dream (One more time)
[Outro]
