Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to keep 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, but doing that
But doing that you break down in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight life you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
