Hey, Rap:
In keeping with the feel of the dream, this would be one of those odd old-time songs with a call and response like the one that goes:
"What's the matter with the mill?
The mill broke down"
The other songs in the dream were old songs that I used to sing back in the early 60's.
Working on laundry, and fooling around while I'm doing it (being careful to separate the whites from the colored (sounds like a segregationist song, right there) I got:
Jesse didn't show up for work today
And the boss is fit to be tied
He'll probably say that he was sick in bed
But you know that that's a lie
And somewhere in there, there has to be the lines:
"We couldn't do the installation
'Cause Jesse didn't show up for work"
"We got to move these 'frigerators
We got to install these color tvs"
All music comes from one well
