"Dream Operator" is a song that played over the end credits of "How I Wet Your Mother". It was originally written by David Byrne and the parody lyrics were written by Billy Kimball. Both David Byrne and Glenn Close sing it.

Lyrics[edit]

A real tiny kid.
Glenn Close:

David Byrne and Glenn Close:
Dream had a name.
And the name told your story.
It's called, growing up.
You're the dream operator.
