Verse 1:
In the morning light, with a pail so bright,
A milkmaid walked with a smile so light.
She dreamt of riches and a cow so grand,
But first, she had to milk with her own two hands.
Chorus:
Milkmaid, milkmaid, with your pail so round,
Dreams of butter and cheese abound.
Step by step, with your pail so high,
Watch your dreams touch the sky!
Verse 2:
She thought, "With this milk, I'll buy a gown,
And a big fancy hat to wear in town."
But as she walked, she started to dream,
Of all the wonderful things her future might seem.
Chorus:
Milkmaid, milkmaid, with your pail so round,
Dreams of butter and cheese abound.
Step by step, with your pail so high,
Watch your dreams touch the sky!
Bridge:
But oh, she tripped and the milk spilled out,
Her dreams went away, she had a pout.
She learned a lesson that day so true,
Dreams are lovely, but they must be seen through!
Chorus:
Milkmaid, milkmaid, with your pail so round,
Dreams of butter and cheese abound.
Step by step, with your pail so high,
Watch your dreams touch the sky!
Outro:
So keep on dreaming, but don't forget,
To work and plan, and never fret.
With a heart full of hope and hands that care,
You'll find your dreams are always there!
