JUBILEE
Lyrics and Music By Jay Ramsey

WHEN I WAS A BOY WITH WILD IMAGINATION
I CREATED WORLDS WITH CITIES AND WITH NATIONS TO MY LIKING
AND EVERYONE WAS HAPPY AS COULD BE
I DREAMED UP A TOWN AND I CALLED IT JUBILEE
WHERE NO ONE WORE A FROWN AND NOT ONE MAN WAS ON HIS KNEES EXCEPT TO PRAY
IN JUBILEE THINGS WERE JUST THAT WAY

BUT IT WAS JUST A DREAM
AND I?M OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW IT
BUT I?M TRAPPED IN THE WORLD
OF A VERY MINOR POET
AND I?LL ALWAYS BE
TRYING TO FIND MY WAY TO JUBILEE
JUBILEE?JUBILEE

MY DAYS IN JUBILEE WERE SPENT IN MAKING HISTORY
WITH VERSES AND WITH RHYMES
AND LOVELY LILTING MELODIES FOR ALL TO SING
AND YOU WERE OH SO VERY PROUD OF ME
BUT DREAMERS COME OF AGE
AND BRIGHT DREAMS SORT OF FADE AWAY
TO TONES OF GRAY AND BEIGE
AND STRAINS OF MEDIOCRITY
BUT I CAN?T SEE
WHY I CAN?T LIVE MY LIFE IN JUBILEE

I LOVE YOU GIRL
BUT I MAY NEVER SHOW IT
CAUSE I?M TRAPPED IN THE WORLD
OF A VERY MINOR POET
AND I?LL ALWAYS BE
TRYING TO FIND MY WAY TO JUBILEE
JUBILEE?JUBILEE
