Imagine That

Imagine That is a Sesame Street song by Ernie about his fantasy occupations.

Lyrics
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."

Then I'd get on my horse and I'd start to ride.

I would 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 that.

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 bravest, finest 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 that.

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 'cause I'm Ernie, me, that's who.

And I'd tip my hat.

Imagine that.

Imagine that.

Imagine that.
