The Kid’s a Dreamer
Douglas Arthur, Herb Hendler
[Verse 1]
The kid's a dreamer
You'll never change him
His world is so shiny and nice
But the sun's in his eyes
His sights are too high
You see, he’s the kid from fool's paradise
[Verse 2]
The kid's a gambler
You'll never change him
He'll bet every roll of the dice
And he laughs as each toss
Increases his loss
You see, he's the kid from fool's paradise
[Bridge]
So kiss him goodbye as quick as you can
And run away faster than you ever ran
Your friend is a child who looks like a man
Believe me, I know, I'm his grеatest fan
[Verse 3]
The kid's a lover
You'll nеver change him
He'll keep juggling old shoes and new rice
Though he talks a great game
He won't share his name
Stay away from the kid from fool's paradise
