Pure Imagination Song Lyrics

(narrated)
Hold your breath, make a wish
Now, count to three

Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin with a spin
Trav'lling in a world of my creation
What we'll see will defy
explanation...

If you wanna view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to do it
You wanna change the world
There's nothing
to it...

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly want to be

MUSICAL
INTERLUDE

If you wanna view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to do it
You wanna change the world
There's nothing
to it...

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly want to be

Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination

You'll begin with a spin
Trav'lling in a world of my creation
What we'll see will defy
explanation...

If you wanna view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to do it
You wanna change the world
There's nothing
to it...

There is no life that I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly want to be

(narrated)
Come on
C'mon go with me
You wanna see some funny
And have a lot of fun?

(narrated)
C'mon let's go
Let's try our own imagination
To see where we can go with it today
Alright? Hey

Take me by the hand
Let us run from the little
Little, little, little, little
Little funny land
Come on c'mon
C'mon let's go to the little land
