Lyrics
Do you remember Don Quixote?
Or the Bulpington of Blup?
The things they thought of can’t compare with
The things my mind makes up
Chorus
Inagination is funny
It makes a cloudy day sunny
Makes a bee think of honey
Just as I think of you
Imagination is crazy
Your whole perspective gets hazy
Starts you asking a daisy
What to do, what to do?
Have you ever felt a gentle touch and
Then a kiss and then and then
Find it’s only your imagination again?
Oh, well, imagination is silly
You go around willy-nilly
For example, I go around wanting you
And yet, I can’t imagine that you want me, too
