Steamboat waiting by the waterside
Sunlight shining on the mornin' tide
Got my ticket in my hand
Got some celebrating plannedCan'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 comeAnd 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 lastIf you love me like you did before
Be there waiting on that distant shore
When my steamboat comes inside
And then I know, we'll be alrightAnd 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 hereFeels so good to know that soon I'll see
You've been saving all your love for me
Honey, if there's any doubt
Just be sure I don't find outAnd 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 cruiseTell 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 slowAnd I'm sayin' that, 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 forceDream 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 bornAnd 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 lastAnd I say, dream on dreamboat, let your love light ride
Steam on steamboat to the other side
Turn the crank, change the gear
Raise the flag and let's get out of hereDream 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 cruiseYou're my dreamboat, yes you areI 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, yeahYou're my dreamboat, yes you areDream on dreamboat, let my love light ride
Steam on steamboat to the other side
