Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every night before I go to sleep
Find a ticket, win a lottery
Scoop the pearls up from the sea
Cash them in and buy you all the things you need
[Verse 2]
Every night before I rest my head
See those dollar bills go swirlin' 'round my bed
I know they're stolen, but I don't feel bad
I take that money, buy you things you never had
[Refrain]
Oh, baby
It would mean so much to me
Oh, baby
To buy you all the things you need for free
[Bridge]
I'll buy you a jet plane, babe
Get you on a higher plane to a jet stream
And take you through the stratosphere
And check out the planets there
And then take you down deep
Where it's hot, hot in Arabia, baby
Then cool, cold, in fields of snow
And we'll roll, dream, roll, dream
Roll, roll, dream, dream
[Chorus]
When we dream it
When we dream it
When we dream it
We'll dream it, dream it for free
Free money, free money
Free money, free money
Free money, free money
Free money
[Verse 3]
Every night before I go to sleep (Free money)
Find a ticket, win a lottery (Free money)
Every night before I rest my head (Free money)
See those dollar bills go swirlin' round my bed
[Refrain]
Oh, baby, it will mean so much to me
Baby, I know our troubles will be gone
Oh, I know our troubles will be gone, goin' gone
If you could dream, dream, dream for free
[Chorus]
And when we dream it
When we dream it
When we dream it
Let's dream it, you dream it for free
Free money, free money
Free money, free money
Free money, free money
Money
[Outro]
Free money, free money, free money, free money
Free money, free money, free money, free money
Free money, free money, free money, free money
Money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money
Free money, free money, free money, free money
Free money
Free
