The Kid's A Dreamer

(album: The Many Moods Of Tony - 1964)

The kid's a dreamer
You'll never change him
His world is so shiny and nice
But the sun's in his eyes
His sights are too high
You see, he's the kid from fool's paradise

The kid's a gambler
You'll never change him
He'll bet every roll of the dice
And he laughs as each toss
Increases his loss
You see, he's the kid from fool's paradise

So kiss him goodbye as quick as you can
And run away faster than you ever ran
Your friend is a child who looks like a man
Believe me, I know, I'm his greatest fan

The kid's a lover
You'll never change him
He'll keep juggling old shoes and new rice
Though he talks a great game
He won't share his name
Stay away from the kid from fool's paradise
