My bed is a train
To a whole new land
With red trees and pink sand.
Were the grass is blue
And the sky is green
And I can do
Whatever I please.
I ride on a dragon’s back
And I slide right off the slithery tail.
I sit on giant flowers
And pass away the hours
By jumping in the big purple sea
And drink a cup of hot tea.
While drinking my hot tea,
I chat with that tall talking tree.
I fly with the fairies
And rest on rainbows
And only God knows
Where else I go.
But when I hear a big loud ring
When I hear a giant beep
I know that it is time to leave
And I am off and away you see.
