Stampfel & Weber - Jeanine's Dream

To Rate

In a trunk on the attic floor
The record lay 40 years or more
Till Jeanine came to poke about
In the attic she pulled it out
She decided to let it play
Unplayed music will waste away
So it spun on the old machine
It put her feet in a dancing dream
She was Queen of the Ball
Her surroundings fell away
And she danced in a fairy carnival
Out of lost time

The record player was turned up loud
As she danced with the fairy crowd
A mean old grandma who lived next door
Heard the racket and callеd the law
The record playеr was still turned high
When the new rookie cop came by
Jeanine came dancin' up to the door
She let him in and she danced some more
First he stared as she danced
Then the music that was playing caught him in its spell
And so he danced with her

Grandma came in and hollered "Stop!
This crazy music and crazy cop!"
But Jeanine didn't seem to hear
Then the music caught Grandma's ear
She remembered those bygone days
And how she danced while the fiddle played
So she left them and went to bed
With the tune playing in her head
And she danced in her dreams
With her husband one more time
And the record he had bought for her
Spun on 'til dawn

Song Description:

"Jeanine's Dream" by Stampfel & Weber tells the story of a young girl named Jeanine who discovers an old record in the attic and decides to play it. As the music starts to play, she is transported into a dreamlike state where she becomes the Queen of the Ball and dances in a fairy carnival. The music is so enchanting that even a rookie cop who comes to investigate ends up dancing with her.
