This is our escape
I will count to three
Then you will come to me
We'll see diamond chandeliers
Little chocolate deers
All the things that please you
Pigs that say moo
Kings will bow
Little ladies scowl
And call you prettier than they
We'll tramp down imagination's Way
Throw out the script
Boredom has been robbed
Of its prey
It's time to play
There is a lady who will call it nonsense
She may even use past tense
But you and I know better
Where's the fun in a dull letter
We'll skip to z
Then climb up and frown at a b c
If you're trying to amuse
I'm giving you nice clues
When you have to go mad you must go mad
Sometimes just a tad
But might as well take off your shoes
Dive right in to fantasy's pools
Turn the page
Don't make me wait an age
Just to see what happens next
I'm trying my best
Time we spend together
Can't be traded for some other
Years can catch us and drag us down
Or we can dive straight underground
Life can be a path we walk upon
Flowers growing while we sing along
Or a maze we have to puzzle through
Wondering why cows say moo
There are strictly two kinds of people
Those who know the color purple
And those who know purple is a color
Clearly one is duller
So either we are clever or we are silly
Born to grow like a daffodilly
Laughing because we are smarter than the rest
Reading up to find the best
Either you know the world or the world knows you
Mutual friendships are so few
We could teach you a thing or two
Ignore it when the ghost says boo
You have two choices now
You can believe that, somehow
I know what I'm saying
So you better start praying
Or you can believe I've simply spoken
My mind until it's broken
And now the nonsense is pouring out
Like tea from the tea kettle's spout
