My Imaginary Friend - The Divine Comedy, Neil Hannon

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
