Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Bobby Susser

Purpose: To develop listening skills, imagination, fine motor skills, gross motor skills and coordination.

     1. The child/children may sing along to the entire song or to the chorus, “Just use your imagination.”
     2. While singing about each animal the child/children may pretend to be, and act like that animal.
     3. The parent/teacher may ask the child/children what animal he/she/they liked to imagine to be the most and why.

You know in our minds we have such
great imaginations
And that means we can pretend
anything

Make believe we’re at the zoo
Where you can be a monkey too
You can be
A chimpanzee
Just use your imagination
Just use your imagination

Make believe that you’re a bear
Your body’s covered up with hair
Great big paws
A real strong jaw
Just use your imagination
Just use your imagination

Make believe that you’re a seal
Barking for your morning meal
Shiny skin
You’d like to swim
Just use your imagination
Just use your imagination

Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
Da da da
Da da da da
Just use your imagination
Just use your imagination

We could always try to be
Anything we want to be
So much fun
For everyone
Just use your imagination
Just use your imagination

So much fun
For everyone
Just use your imagination
Just use your imagination
