Lyrics:

This is ponderous, man
Really ponderous

I had this dream the other night
I went to work one day
And nobody remembered who I was
So, I decided to take the day off

On my way out
I run into my boss and he says
'Hey, you look familiar'
I said, 'Thanks
People say that a lot in these dreams'
Then the horns kicked in
And my shoes started to squeak

Then all of a sudden
I'm standing on a beach in some tropical part of the world
And there's this sign that says
'Aren't you supposed to be at work?'
(Aha ha ha ha ha)
Sort of screamed out at me
(Aah!)

Then I remembered
I'd been here in other dreams
But usually there was a water polo game
And a girl who could talk with her eyes
And she'd say
'Can you see what I'm saying?'
Then the horn kicked in
And my shoes started to squeak
Before I knew it
I was walking near a lake (lake)
When a phone rings
And the operator speaks to me
In a language I don't understand
'Oom papachucka maka nanu singow
Jing kapalana wani domo chingpow
Heddy kapalua cuma jenising tea
Oomama chucka pana one is now three'
Then the horns kicked in
And my shoes started to squeak

Before long
I was coming up on this really weird part of my dream
You know
The part where I know how to tap dance
But I can only do it while wearing golf shoes

Now, I'm back on the beach
Walking with this girl who talks with her eyes
This time she says
'I think you see what I'm saying'

Then just before I woke up
It started to rain in Southern California
'Oom papachucka maka nanu singow
Jing kapalana wani domo chingpow
Heddy kapalua cuma jenising tea
Oomama chucka pana one is now three'

A girl who could talk with her eyes
'Can you see what I'm saying?'
'Aren't you supposed to be at work?'
(Aha ha ha ha ha)
This is ponderous, man
Really ponderous

(Ooh)
