Can You Imagine That?

John, you're right

It's good to know you're bright

For intellect can wash away confusion

Georgie sees

And Annabel agrees

Most folderol's an optical illusion

You three know it's true

That one plus one is two

Yes, logic is the rock of our foundation

I suspect and I'm never incorrect

That you're far too old to give into imagination

No, not yet

Some people like to splash and play

Can you imagine that?

And take a seaside holiday

Can you imagine that?

Too much glee leaves rings around the brain

Take that joy and send it down the drain

Some people like to laugh at life

And giggle through the day

They think the world's a brand new shiny toy

And if while dreaming in the clouds

They fall and go kersplatt!

Although they're down and bent in half

They brush right off and start to laugh

Can you imagine that?

On second thoughts, perhaps you're right, it makes no sense to take a bath this early

Wait! I want to take a bath!

Oh, really? Up you go and in you go

Georgie! What happened! Will they be alright?

Well, it is just a bath after all, but then again it's not my tub

Shouldn't you go in after them

Oh no, I had my bath this morning, thank you

Well, if you won't, I will! Woah!

Off we go

♪

Some people like to dive right in

Can you imagine that?

And flap about in bathtub gin

Can you imagine that?

Doggies paddling twenty leagues below

Might seem real but we know it's not so

To cook without a recipe

Can you imagine that?

And heaven knows what lives within that pot

Some pirates follow treasure maps

And wear a silly hat

They search the world for buried gold

They won't grow up and don't grow old

Can you imagine that?

♪

Be sure to scrub behind your ears

♪

Some answer when adventure calls

Can you imagine that?

And sail straight over waterfalls

Can you imagine that?

They see living as its own reward (ahoy!)

We rock the boat then (man overboard!)

Some people look out on the sea

And see a brand-new day

Their spirit lifts them high above the blue

Yet some others wear an anchor

And they sink in seconds flat

So, perhaps we've learned when day is done

Some stuff and nonsense could be fun

Can you imagine that?
