Lyrics

and any man who understands the irish can't be reckoned altogether bad - the same way that a lunatic whose patron saint is patterick can't be reckoned altogether mad. the doctor's very smart - he's an irishman at heart - his favourite colour, sure it must be green. also he's a man who'll blarney when he can - let me explain the sort of thing i mean. my friend the doctor says the moon is made of apple pie - and once a month it's eaten by the sun. and that is why, up in the sky, you'll find as every month goes by somebody in the sky's makin' another one! my friend the doctor says the sun is made of cheddar cheese - the doctor even knows the reason why the facts are these - try if you please pretendin' you're a lonely cheese - wouldn't you want to try findin' an apple pie? of course you would! maybe what the doctor tells me isn't altogether true - but i love every tale he tells me - i don't know any better ones - do you? my friend the doctor says the world is full of fantasy - and who are you and i to disagree? let's hope and pray that is the way the life we love will always stay for my friend the doctor and me! matthew & company my friend the doctor says the stars are made of lemon drops the bigger ones are lollipops and ice the clouds have shops up on the tops that sell you sweets and soda - pops what do they call the place - isn't it paradise? company my friend the doctor says that every time it starts to rain - and people run indoors again in swarms - if you remain out in the rain, you'll think you're drinkin' pink champagne! - and you'll spend your life prayin' for thunderstorms! maybe what the doctor tells me isn't altogether true - but i love every tale he tells me - i don't know any better ones - do you? matthew my friend the doctor says the world is full of fantasy - and who are you and i to disagree? let's hope and pray that is the way the life we love will always stay for my friend the doctor - my friend the doctor and me!
