Pure Imagination Lyrics by Gene Wilder

Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (Music From the Original Soundtrack of the Paramount Picture)

1971

[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro (Spoken)]
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
[Verse 1]
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
[Verse 2]
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we'll see will defy
Explanation
[Chorus]
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
[Verse 4]
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
[Instrumental Outro]
