The Divine Comedy - My Imaginary Friend lyrics

Would you like to meet my little friend? Don't try to shake his hand, he's just pretend His is Benjamin, that's his name My mama said, "You're insane, Boy, you really are the end You and your imaginary friend" Daddy drives the mobile library He works peripatetically He doesn't get much time to play with us So we just read and make up stuff And it drives him round the bend Me and my imaginary friend One day we're gonna play hide and seek And then he'll be up the creek Never to be seen again He'll disappear the day that childhood ends And reality descends I'll never forget you, my imaginary friend
