Dear Mr. Fantasy

The Grateful Dead Traffic -

June 14, 1984

Lyrics

Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy

You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please, don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years

Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy, yeah

Dear Mister Fantasy, play us a tune
Something to make us all happy, oh yeah
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy

You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years

Thank you

“Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'”
— That Lucky Old Sun by Jerry Garcia Band
