Letra de An Occasional Flight Of Fancy

It′s a sort of a twist
You're a day somnambulist
You walk away from underneath your hat
But everyone daydreams
It′s part of the human condition!

That's right, Miss Allerton
But they don't do it all the time

Well, I certainly don′t do it all the time

It could be just a crutch
But you′re dreaming much too much
We'll have to regulate your thermostat

Are you trying to tell me I′m a nut, doctor?

No, I'm the nut doctor
You′re a nut patient

Well, you'll just have to excuse me
But I don′t think any of you know what you're talking about

What's so abnormal about imagination?
What′s so peculiar about preoccupation?
What′s so eccentric about
And makes it such a crime
If I'm a person who runs away
From troubles and hassles?
Preferring to spend the day
In Spanish castles
What makes a dreary world seem bright?
An occasional flight of fancy

Some people get the shakes
Without their coffee breaks
They miss a cup, they′re screaming
Right!
Some gather nervously
To sip a cup of tea (mm)
Her cup of tea's daydreaming

If I start drifting away
I beg your pardon
But I love lifting away
Just like a kite
So why in the world should anyone look askance
At the fun and delight of a perfectly innocent
Occasional flight of fancy?

While others stay in their ruts
I love to wander
While others keep to their huts
I′m somewhere yonder
And if the purses become
A little bit too tight
I might take off on a mental cruise
To hideaway places

Where lovers I pick and choose
Seek my embraces
And is it dreaming well?
Not quite
An occasional flight of fancy

Some people cure their ills
By taking lots of pills
I think that my way's wiser
A dream or two a day
Can get me through a day
What better tranquilizer?

If I start drifting away
You have our pardon
But I love lifting away
Just like a kite
So why in the world should anyone look askance?
You′re constantly dreaming without any break
You're dreaming asleep and you're dreaming awake
But in your condition you have our permission to take
The occasional flight of fancy
