"The Nightmare" lyrics

Cab Calloway And His Orchestra Lyrics

"The Nightmare"

Slumber, never comes around 'til dawn
My head starts reeling
I dream that I'm kneeling
It seems that I'm kneeling on the ceiling of my room

Nightmare, sure has got me in the air
It's no use denying
And there's no denying
I dream that I'm dying and going in my tomb
