Steamboat waiting by the waterside

Sunlight shining on the morning tide

Got my ticket in my hand

Got some celebrating planned



Can't remember when I felt so fine

I've been waiting such a long long time

Just to hear those engines hum

Look out dreamboat here I come



And I say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride

Steam on steamboat to the other side

All aboard, make it fast

Thank the lord, I'm coming home at last



If you love me like you did before

Be there waiting on the distant shore

When my steamboat comes inside

Then I know we'll be alright



And I say dream on dreamboat, let your love light ride

Stem on steamboat to the other side

Turn the crank, change the gear

Raise the flag and let's get out of here



Feels so good to know that soon I'll see

You've been saving all your love for me

For honey if there's any doubt

Just be sure I don't find out



And I say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride

Steam on steamboat to the other side

Cast the line, check the fuse

save some time, this ain't no pleasure cruise



Tell the captain not to take too long

Keep that big wheel turning fast and strong

Fires are burning down below

Come on steamboat don't be slow



And I say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride

Steam on steamboat to the other side

Wind the springs, set the course

Pull some strings before I turn to force



Dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride

Steam on steamboat to the other side

Ring the bell, sound the horn

Move like hell, I'm heading back where I was born



And I say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride

Steam on steamboat to the other side

All aboard and make it fast

Thank the lord, I'm coming home at last



And I say dream on dreamboat, let your love light ride

Stem on steamboat to the other side

Turn the crank, change the gear

Raise the flag and let's get out of here



Dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride

Steam on steamboat to the other side

Cast the line, check the fuse

save some time, this ain't no pleasure cruise



You're me dreamboat, yes you are



And I say dream on dreamboat, let my love light ride

Steam on steamboat to the other side

Ring the bell, sound the horn

Move like hell, I'm heading back where I was born



You're my dreamboat, yes you are
