And the business ain't dead, it's only a-sleepin', dreamin' someday that a customer will come.
The customer ain't dead, he's only a-sleepin', dreamin' someday that a good job will come.
That good job ain't dead, it's only a-sleepin', dreamin' someday that a paycheck will come.
That paycheck's not dead, it's only a-sleepin', dreamin' and a-dreamin' that the president's gonna come.
Well, the president's not dead, and only a-sleepin', sleepin' and a-dreamin', that old atom bomb won't come.
That old atom bomb won't come.
That atom bomb ain't dead.
That atom bomb ain't dead.
It's just about half-sleepin', just about half-sleepin'.
Sleepin' and a-dreamin', sleepin' and a-dreamin' that a new world's gonna come.
A new world's gonna come.
That new world ain't dead, that new world ain't dead.
It's not even sleepin', not even sleepin'.
It's a-waitin' and a-wigglin'.
And a-wigglin' and a-waitin'.
For you and me to come.
For you and me to come.
Now you and me ain't dead.
You and me ain't dead.
We're both just pretending
We're waiting and waiting
For a big job to come
Well, the business ain't dead
It's only a-sleeping
Dreaming someday
That a customer will come
