Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune,
Something to make us all happy.
Do anything, take us out of this gloom,
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy.
You are the one who can make us all laugh,
But doing that, you break out in tears.
Please don't be sad, if it was a straight mind you had,
We wouldn't have known you all these years.
