Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory is featured in Funeral, the twenty-first episode of Season Two . It is sung by the New Directions with solos from Artie, Finn, Kurt and Tina.
They sing the song at Jean's funeral as a dedication to her favorite film, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory . Sue is touched by this performance and thanks the glee club after. During the performance, the New Directions, Will and particularly Sue are teary-eyed as they send Jean away with the song.
Lyrics
Tina (Episode Version Only):
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
Kurt:
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Finn:
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
Tina:
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
Artie:
What we'll see will defy explanation
Tina with New Directions:
If you wanna view paradise
Tina:
Simply look around and view it
Tina with New Directions:
Anything you want to, do it
Tina:
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
Kurt:
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Finn:
Living there, you'll be free
Kurt and Finn:
If you truly wish to be
Kurt with New Directions:
If you wanna view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to do it
Want to change the world?
Kurt:
There's nothing to it
Tina:
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Kurt:
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly
Kurt and Finn:
Wish to be
