Let the games begin In the middle of the night, in my dreams Are you ready for it? Baby, let the games begin I-I-I see how this is gon' go Touch me and you'll never be alone I-Island breeze and lights down low No one has to know You should see the things

Far away, far away Into a broken paradise surrounded by the colored lights On and on she moves Into a paradise without day and without night In the place with marmalade skies And all alone she moves In the land where the sun will never rise Carry on,

Homesick tired All alone in a big city Why should ev'rybody pity me, Nighttime's falling, folks are a singin', they dance till break of day Dear Old Southland with it's dreamy songs Takes me back there where I belong How I'd love to be in mammy's arms
