Rawls, Lou - Pure Imagination Lyrics






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 we'll 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 on c'mon go with me
You wanna see some bunny
Have a lot of fun c'mon let's go
Let's try our own imagination
See what we can go away from 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

  3. B.... ....

    My tribute to Gloria Manon (1939-2019). She played Mrs. Curtis from the movie featuring this song. The song is from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

    What we'll see will defy explanation

    If you want to view paradise
    Simply look around and view it

    You want to change the world
    There's nothing to it

    There is no life I know

    If you truly want to be

    Come on c'mon go with me

  24. 1.... ....

    great in all regards !!!

  25. B.... B....

    My goodness I can only imagine chef from south park.

  26. B.... B....

    Underrated version.

  27. S.... B....

    I cried for some reason. 😢

  28. V.... M....

    This Lou Rawls version was so popular in the Philippines in the 70's. It brings nostalgic memories of probably the greatest decade in music & arts.

  29. E.... m....

    Pure
    imaginátion 😎

  30. J.... L....

    Lou Rawls was one of my favorite singers. People don't sing like this anymore! such a pity!. thanks for sharing. Beautiful..

  31. M.... M....

    Awesome upbeat version of the song from the movie!!

  32. H.... T....

    I wish this song was "aired" into Space and another civilization heard it, it would be magical 😊❤💚Tne pictures are so beautiful, too😊😊❤💚

  33. m.... ....

    😍😍😍

  34. h.... ....

    the best version

  35. a.... v....

    the greatest of all, the one and only MR smooth Lou Rawls

  36. R.... C....

    Original sempre é o melhor

  37. K.... �....

    Who's here because of *Mariah Carey* and her I Still Believe / Pure Imagination remix?

  38. B.... ....

    ⚫💛⚫💚⚫

  39. L.... R....

    Lou is absolutely amazing. So glad he left us with this (funkiest version) and his version of Summer Wind. A true artist!

  40. S.... ....

    This IS the nostalgic version. It reminds me of the 70s. Flared jeans. Floral, big collars. Orange, felt carpet. Skating down the street to go to the lolly shop. When life seemed much simpler.

  41. A.... M....

    I like Maroon 5's cover, but its arguably depressing/calm depending on what mood you're in. This is uplifting af, and I think this takes the cake as the best.

  42. P.... J....

    Hey Claudio and friends, have you ever heard Lou's version of Here's That Rainy Day? I have  looked high and low on ytube with no luck. He delivers a slow and smoky rendition with tons of bittersweet phrasing.    Absolutely the best version of that incredible old jazz standard ever recorded.  We need a hero to find it and post it to go along with Lou's other great recordings. If you haven't heard it yet, fair warning, be prepared to be blown away.

  43. m.... d....

    Sou brasileira

  44. m.... d....

    É em ingles e eu moro no brasil

  45. m.... d....

    Puré imagnation

  46. S.... B....

    He's in a class of other all time greats like Jerry Butler, Arthur Paysock, flamingos, Billy Paul and I can go on an on there will never be another generation of singers like these anymore thank God for what we have as memories vinyl cassettes reel to reel & others

  47. E.... R....

    I like this rendition very much!

  48. A.... -....

    charlie and chocolate factory or Ready Player one Anyone?

    A.... -....

    The song was also featured on The Muppet Show as well. When Ben Vereen was the guest star.

  49. E.... C....

  50. S.... G....

    and the world of pure imaginations

    C.... V....

    Chris Vu i just kept having "oh my god! Oh my god!" in my head when it reached at 3:24. That's just GOLD.
