This is my navy uniform
Look, all the buttons are missing
The stripes have fallen off the sleeve
And here are coins from every country
I stole them before I had to leave
I thought I wouldn't believe I'd really been there
The places of my dreams
The places of my dreams
Here's a picture of the ship we went on
Here's a picture of all the men
Bet you can't guess which one was me
I was so much younger then
Here's a picture of my best friend
Don't know what's become of him
I hope he's found the places of his dreams
The places of his dreams
The places of his dreams
The places, places
This is the comic strip I started while I was there
They say they kept it running after I'd gone
They all thought I'd be a big-shot artist like Picasso
Now all that artwork collects dust in the garage
Sometimes I go in there on weekends to see the places of my dreams
The places of my dreams
The places of my dreams
The places, places
Places
