Dive into yesterday, dive into yesterday 
Dive into yesterday 

Now since his disappearance through the smoke rings of our time 
While the plaster jester is speaking out of tune 
In moonlight swimming madness deep within Aladdin's cave 
But with good old diamonds dancing, we can all smile too soon 

Oh, swing and sway, the patterns say 
Time sign out and please 

Dive into yesterday, dive into yesterday 
Dive into yesterday 

Kaleidoscopic tambourines are tickling your ears 
While the tiny goldfish all swim amongst the air 
The Mardi Gras at midnight, the songs tumbling in sound 
While Sh-Sh-Shakespeare floats with wild roses in his head 

Oh, swing and sway, the patterns say 
Time sign out and please 

Relax your eyes, for after all 
We can but share these minutes 

Battalions in navy blue are bursting beige balloons 
The water pistols are all filled with lemonade 
The jester and the goldfish have joined minds above the moon 
Oh, please kiss the flowers and you too will be safe 

Oh, swing and sway, the patterns say 
Time sign out and please 

Dive into yesterday, dive into yesterday 
Dive into yesterday, oh
