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)

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)
