Lyrics

A little imagination Is a good thing at three or four May seem like fabrication When a toddler holds the floor And tells a story A story that's not true But he isn't lying really (Turn that paper down. Turn the paper down) Lying is for me and you (Turn the paper down) It's for grown-ups

Don't be afraid of fairyland Don't try to join its population Don't be afraid of make-believe But it should be in moderation

It's not mealy-mouthed to say Imagination when it's vivid Blurs the limits of the real Imagination, no hurt for him It's why a movie is so scary Films terrify a child of three Don't jump on him For harmless fantasy

Don't be afraid of fairyland Don't try to join its population Don't be afraid of make-believe But it should be in moderation

If fables are all he can tell Then ask yourself, what does he need? A playmate? He may be unwell If all be does in dream Won't heed others, won't adapt A psychiatrist will retrieve the problem ?

(Hey kid, you with the whistle. Out)
