Pure Imagination / Grandpa Joe Songtext
von Christian Borle, Ryan Sell, Emma Pfaeffle & Michael Wartella

Close your eyes, make a wish, and 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
Travelling in a world of my creation
What we'll see will define explanation

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
There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination
Living there, you′ll be free, if you truly wish to be


I′ve been working on this for 17 and a half years
Yours are the first eyes ever to see it
A world made completely and entirely out of candy
What do you think, Charlie?

Grandpa Joe, now I know I'll never have to dream again
For I′ve had dreams creditable, but here's a dream that is edible
Mr. Wonka, pinch us, please
So we can taste the forest for the dreams

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