Illusions in G Major

Lyrics

On the seven seas, there was a phantom ship a-comin'
 Shinin' on the dead of night, I heard the crew a-hummin'
 Tunes that sounded like the Rolling Stones and Leonard Cohen
 But they didn't know the words, so I assumed that they was foreign
 But I heard them just the same
 Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em, I just wanna please them now
 I said, doctor, let me teach 'em, I just wanna please them now
 
 I looked up in the sky, there was a phantom plane a-comin'
 Shinin' in the dead of night, I heard the pilot saying
 Poems that were written by John Keats and Robert Browning
 He didn't know the words, so I suppose that it was nothing
 But I heard them just the same
 Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em, I just wanna please them now
 I said, doctor, let me teach 'em, I just wanna please them now
 ♪
 Oh, doctor, please believe me, I know you won't deceive me
 But do these things I'm seein' have any hidden meaning?
 It's all good entertainment, it doesn't cost a penny
 So please, doc, let me teach 'em, if I could only reach 'em
 But I heard them just the same
 Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em, I just wanna please them now
 Oh, doctor, let me teach 'em, I just wanna please them now
