"Imagine" is an original Barney song that was written for the film Barney's Great Adventure. Prior to the film, Barney performed this song with Baby Bop and BJ at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1997 to promote Barney's Great Adventure. While used in other appearances correlated to the film, Barney performed this song for American singer Dolly Parton when he appeared at DollyWorld in 2004, making it the only time it was sung in no affiliation to 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 your 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 chimney (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

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 a cuckoo clock)
All day long, you go tick tock (tick tock)
Close your eyes and wish real hard (I'm wishing)
A cuckoo clock is what you are

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
It's with me everywhere I go
Who's to say it isn't so

Imagine, imagine,
And life becomes a wonderful surprise
Imagine, imagine,
and dreams appear before your eyes

Imagine you're 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 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

Imagine, imagine,
And you can be anything you choose
Imagine, imagine,
Just be sure you never lose the power to...

Imagine you're a cuckoo clock (Sure, I'm a cuckoo clock)
All day long, you go tick tock (tick tock)
Close your eyes and wish real hard
A cuckoo clock is what you are

Imagine you're a bird that flies (Hey, I'm 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
Who's to say it isn't so

Imagine, imagine,
And life becomes a wonderful surprise
Imagine, imagine,
and dreams appear before your eyes
