[Intro]
\nPractical…
\n(… or Radical?)<\/p>\n
Musical…
\n(Magical?)<\/p>\n
Whimsical!<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nThey measured the moon
\nWith a measuring stick
\nCalculated the stars
\nAnd called it a trick<\/p>\n
They numbered the clouds
\nThey counted the rain
\nThey put all the sunshine
\nIn a spreadsheet again<\/p>\n
They told me the world
\nShould be sensible
\nPredictable…
\nDefensible…<\/p>\n
I asked them a question
\nThey said, “That’s absurd!”<\/p>\n
So I answered their answer
\nWith a completely new word:<\/p>\n
Whimsical!<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Drums Build, Guitar Chimes]<\/p>\n
When reason gets rigid
\nAnd logic gets stale
\nWhen everybody’s certain
\nThey’ve figured the tale<\/p>\n
Leave room for the strange
\nLeave room for surprise
\nThere’s more to the world
\nThan what fits in your eyes<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nWhen they get too practical
\n(Get whimsical)
\n… it’s magical
\nIf it gets too radical
\n(Get musical)
\n… be whimsical<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nA practical person
\nWill tighten the screw
\nA radical person
\nWill tighten it too<\/p>\n
One says, “Be careful!”
\nThe other says, “Go!”
\nOne wants a blueprint
\nThe other says, “Whoa!”<\/p>\n
But somewhere between them
\nA strange little tune
\nStarts dancing around
\nWith the stars and the moon<\/p>\n
A little absurd
\nA little sublime
\nA little bit out of
\nThe practical line<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Tambourine, Rising Bass]<\/p>\n
Don’t throw out the reason
\nDon’t throw out the rules
\nJust don’t let the rules
\nMake you into fools<\/p>\n
A little imagination
\nCan loosen the chain
\nAnd sometimes a laugh
\nCan eliminate pain<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nWhen they get too practical
\n(Get whimsical)
\n… it’s magical
\nIf it gets too radical
\n(Get musical)
\n… be whimsical<\/p>\n
[Verse 3]
\nThey told me, “Reality
\nMust be defined!”<\/p>\n
I said, “Sure…
\nBut leave something behind.”<\/p>\n
A corner for wonder
\nA pocket for play
\nA place where tomorrow
\nCan rewrite today<\/p>\n
The sensible thinker
\nSays, “Prove that it’s true.”<\/p>\n
The dreamer says,
\n“Maybe there’s something new.”<\/p>\n
The scientist smiles
\nAnd adjusts the design:<\/p>\n
“Let’s test the impossible…
\nOne more time.”<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\n[Half-Time Drums, Psychedelic Guitar]<\/p>\n
Too practical?
\n(Get whimsical!)<\/p>\n
Too radical?
\n(Get musical!)<\/p>\n
Too cynical?
\n(Get lyrical!)<\/p>\n
Too critical?
\n(Get magical!)<\/p>\n
[Spoken]
\nDon’t lose your mind…<\/p>\n
Just leave static behind.<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Surf Guitar Solo \/ Organ \/ Handclaps]
\n[Call-and-Response Guitar Riff]<\/p>\n
[Verse 4]
\nA butterfly flaps
\nAnd the weather responds
\nA tiny idea
\nCan travel beyond<\/p>\n
A small little question
\nCan open a door
\nAnd suddenly nothing
\nIs quite like before<\/p>\n
So dance with the data
\nAnd sing with the facts
\nLet curiosity
\nLead you off track<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\n[Full Band Rising]<\/p>\n
When everything’s serious
\nLighten the load
\nWhen everyone’s marching
\nStep off the road<\/p>\n
When they say,
\n“This is the only way…”
\nAsk:
\n“Do you know how to play?”<\/p>\n
[Breakdown]
\n[Music Drops to Bass, Claps and Organ]<\/p>\n
Practical!
\n(Too radical!)<\/p>\n
It’s a festival…
\n(Get musical!)<\/p>\n
Whimsical!<\/p>\n
[Band Explodes]<\/p>\n
MAGICAL!<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nWhen they get too practical
\n(Get whimsical)
\n… it’s magical
\nIf it gets too radical
\n(Get musical)
\n… be whimsical<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nWhen they get too cynical
\n(Get whimsical)
\nMake it lyrical
\nIf it gets too difficult
\n(Get musical)
\n… be whimsical<\/p>\n
When they get too predictable
\n(Get whimsical)
\nMake it mythical
\nWhen the world gets ridiculous
\n(Get musical)
\n… be whimsical!<\/p>\n
