Lyrics
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 Traveling in the world of my creation What we'll see will defy 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 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
Trivia
- Willy Wonka has inspired Joe Hawley quite a bit, including titling backing vocals from Go To Bed "Wonka Vox", and drawing a left-handed comic about Charlie inheriting the Chocolate Factory and having to scoop up Oompa Loompa poop.[2][3]
