Imagine is an original Barney song that first appeared in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (1997). It would later appear in the theatrical film Barney's Great Adventure.

Lyrics

Close your eyes and you will find

There are pictures in your mind

Things that you can see and feel

All those things are very real

Doesn't matter where you are

Make believe and there you are

You can be most anywhere,

When your imagination takes you there

Imagine you're a cuckoo clock (I'm not a cuckoo clock)

All day long, you go tick tock (tick tock)

Close you eyes and wish real hard

A cuckoo clock is what you are

Imagine you're a bird that flies (I'm not a bird that flies)

Soaring high up through the sky

Spread your wings and feel so free

A bird is what you're bound to be

Imagine, imagine,

And you can be anything you choose

Imagine, imagine,

Just be sure you never lose the power to...

Imagine you're an elephant (I'm a giant elephant)

Carrying a big long trunk (Thunk

It's with me everywhere I go (No)

Who's to say it isn't so (Let's Go!)

I'm sliding down a chiminey (I don't see a chimney)

Woopie, Whee! Look at me!

That's a hay chute (No it's not!)

It's what they say it is (That's what!)

Imagine, imagine,

And life becomes a wonderful surprise

Imagine, imagine,

and dreams appear before your eyes

Doesn't matter where you are

Make believe and there you are

You can be most anywhere,

When your imagination takes you there
