Make Believe
Welcome to my land
The land of make believe
Where pigs can fly and dogs can talk
And you love everything
The mayor is an ugly frog
Who wears a stove top hat
His wife is named dear Abraham
And she's a purple bat
The occupants of my small town
Are not like you and me
My neighbor is a warlock
With a golden magic degree
He makes his spells and potions
From flowers, clouds and streams
He mixes them together
And gives the children their dreams
Our fountains are as pink as candy
Our mountains touch the sky
Our cars consist of vacuums
That we all can make fly
This land my friend is special
It's like no other place
It gives each member a feeling
Of long eternal grace
I wish I could take you to my land
Full of funny people and things
But unfortunately dear child
You only go there in your dreams
