IN MY CASTLE IN THE SKY.
Silver bells gaily chime
In my castle in the sky;
Dreamin’, dreamin’, all the time
In my castle in the sky.
Free from sorrow, free from care
Happy all the time up there;
Birds are singin’ everywhere
Ia my castle in the sky.
All the chests are filled with gold
In my castle in the sky;
Priceless treasures quaint an’ old,
In my castle in the sky,
One thing only makes me pine,
Makes the chills ereep down my spine,
That is when I have to dine
In my castle in the sky.
