lyrics
Using your imagination
you could become the engine on a train.
Singing, "Clickety Clack"
around the track.
Turn that corner and don't look back.
"Woo! Woo!" coming down the line again.
Using your imagination
you could become a teeny tiny fish.
Just swimming free
beneath a clear blue sea.
Find a sunken treasure or a coral reef.
"Bloop! Bloop! Bloop!" swim anywhere you wish.
You don't need any special kind of training
to do this magic sort of entertaining.
All you need's a simple inclination
toward using your imagination.
Using your imagination
you could become a space bound rocket ship.
Just hold on tight
for your very first flight.
Shout 3, 2, 1, and you ignite.
Blast off on an astronomic trip!
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, We have ignition; we have liftoff!
Using your imagination
you could become a big old dinosaur.
Just stomping around,
shaking the ground,
scaring everybody with a great big sound.
Won't you let us hear those dinos roar!
You don't need any special kind of training
to do this magic sort of entertaining.
All you need's a simple inclination
toward using your imagination.
Using your imagination
you could write yourself a little song.
Just playing around
with a musical sound.
It'll make you giggle when you feel down.
"La la la la la la" sing along.
(All together now)
"La la la la la la" sing along.
(everybody)
"La la la la la la" sing along.
Using your imagination.
you could become the engine on a train.
Singing, "Clickety Clack"
around the track.
Turn that corner and don't look back.
"Woo! Woo!" coming down the line again.
Using your imagination

Just swimming free
beneath a clear blue sea.

HORRIBLE SONGS FOR CHILDREN
