Jeanine’s Dream

Lyrics

In a trunk on the attic floor The record lay 40 years or more Till Jeanine came to poke about In the attic she pulled it out She decided to let it play Unplayed music will waste away So it spun on the old machine It put her feet in a dancing dream She was Queen of the Ball Her surroundings fell away And she danced in a fairy carnival Out of lost time The record player was turned up loud As she danced with the fairy crowd A mean old grandma who lived next door Heard the racket and callеd the law The record playеr was still turned high When the new rookie cop came by Jeanine came dancin' up to the door She let him in and she danced some more First he stared as she danced Then the music that was playing caught him in its spell And so he danced with her Grandma came in and hollered "Stop! This crazy music and crazy cop!" But Jeanine didn't seem to hear Then the music caught Grandma's ear She remembered those bygone days And how she danced while the fiddle played So she left them and went to bed With the tune playing in her head And she danced in her dreams With her husband one more time And the record he had bought for her Spun on 'til dawn
