Illusions In G Major

     	On the seven seas there was aphantom ship acoming, 
     	Shinin' in 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.

     		CHORUS 
     		But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em, 
     		I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.

     	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. 
     	But he didn't know the words so, 
     	I suppose that it was nothing.

     		CHORUS 
     		But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em, 
     		I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.

     	Doctor please believe me, I know you won't decieve me, 
     	But do these things I'm seein', have any hidden meaning. 
     	It's all good entertainment and it doesn't cost a penny. 
     	So please doc, let me teach 'em, if I could only reach 'em.

     		CHORUS 
     		But I heard them just the same doctor let me teach 'em, 
     		I just wanna please 'em, doctor let me teach 'em.
