    Lyrics:
    Come with me and you'll be
    In a world of pure imagination
    Take a look and you'll see
    Into your imagination
    We'll begin with a spin
    Trav'lling in a world of my creation
    What we'll see will defy explanation

    Wow, just found this version. The Gene Wilder version is haunting, mysterious and perfect. But this is amazing as well. His voice is incredible and punches out of the speakers with his vibrato . Plus the disco hi-hat drum beat works perfect as well as the disco arrangement makes me want to get up and dance. Never thought this song would be funky 😂

    Besides having the most gorgeous bass-baritone voice in the last half of the twentieth century outside of opera, the technique is magnificent. No glitches from high to low, low to high, and it is smoother than butter.

    I love this song! I love the movie too. I mean the 1971 version! Willie Wonka and The Chocolate Factory starring the one and only Gene Wilder! He was one of the most underrated actors who ever walked this planet. Didn't care for the Johnny Depp remake. Great special effects but not much of a movie. Now they are making another. I don't know why Hollywood has to continue to do remakes of films that don't need remakes.

      For what it's worth, I had abysmal expectations of Wonka and have now seen it twice in theatres. It's not the same vibe as the Gene Wilder one - his was obviously a bit dark/deranged, albeit well-meaning. By contrast, Wonka was super charming and heart-warming and I just...loved it. Feels like the world is so devoid of happiness and silliness and Wonka was the perfect antidote. Give it a chance! Also, yes, this song is insanely good. Been rocking to it for years now :)

Lou Rawls for your hard work and dedication to assure that blacks in America get the proper education thank you thank you thank you👏👏👏👏 and thank you to the parade of stars too many to name but you know who you are mr. Lou Rawls is another one of Philadelphia International recording artists that have a voice of his own if anyone tries to do his music who sang his songs they will not come even close to the talent that mr. Lou Rawls have/ Lou Rawls just like Billy Paul could have took there voices anywhere in the music business rather it would been R&B jazz gospel and mr.

    A nice spin on the song.
    I'm curious though, why'd he slightly change the lyrics? "Wish to be" changed to "want to be." I'd say "wish" gave a special touch to the song, worked perfectly with its message, also just gave more variance to the lyrics. Just a little note.
