Imagine That Lyrics - Sesame Street

Sometimes I imagine 

That I would like to be 

A knight in shining armor 

In a castle by the sea 

A knight in shining armor with a princess by my side 

I'd have a magic feather and a horse that I could ride 

And the king would say, "Sir Ernie, you're so handsome and so brave 

Please rid us of this dragon breathing fire in his cave" 

And I'd get on my horse and I'd start to ride 

I'd travel my way through the countryside 

I'd come at last to the dragon's cave 

And I'd yell, "Mr. Dragon, you'd better behave!" 

And the dragon would be so scared of me 

That he'd run away, and the kingdom would be free! 

And I'd tip my hat 

Imagine that 

Imagine thaaaaaaaat 

Imagine that! 

Sometimes I imagine 

That I would like to be 

A daring bold explorer 

Sailing far across the sea 

I'd set out on a sailing ship to find a distant land 

I'd gaze across the ocean with my telescope in hand 

And the captain would say, "Ernie, there's a big storm drawing near, 

You're our finest bravest sailor; you must grab the wheel and steer!" 

And I'd grab the wheel in the wind and rain 

I'd steer the ship through the hurricane 

I'd guide the ship with a steady hand 

I'd lead the way toward a brand new land 

I'd spy the land lying safe and near 

And I'd cry "Land-ho!", and the crew would cheer! 

And I'd tip my hat 

Imagine that 

Imagine thaaaaaaat 

Imagine that! 

Sometimes I imagine 

That I would like to be 

A person who's named Ernie 

Who looks quite a lot like me 

Who likes the things that I like 

And who does the things I do 

And I don't have to imagine 

Because I'm Ernie! 

Me, that's who! 

(nifty Ernie laugh) 

And I'd tip my hat 

Imagine that 

Imagine thaaaaaaat 

Imagine that!
