**Barney:** (laughs) Well, then, here we go.

**Baby Bop:** Roll em!

If Barney, the dinosaur,

comes knockin, on your front door,

Just go and play with him,

Find your way with him,

To the world of imagination.

Oh, Barney,

Your smiling face

Can make life

A better place.

So, smile along with him.

Sing a song with him,

In the world of imagination.

**Abby:** Oh, it's taking too long!

When there's no one there

To understand,

He pops up, and takes you by the hand

To some enchanted land.

**Cody:** Oh, great! The good thing to do in town.

So, Barney,

Our purple friend,

Our friendship

Will never end.

Just

Keep on needing us,

Keep on leading us

To the world of imagination.

Barney's world of imagination!

**Grandpa:** The kids are here.

**Grandma:** George, do I.

**Cody:** You don't need cable TV on a farm, Cody! Yeah! Great scenery!

( *music plays and evil legs chattering in the hall* )

**Barney:** A towel, please. Thank you, Marcella.

**Barney:** It's so nice to have a shower.

**Marcella:** Hey, why we go play in the barn?

**Abby:** But, we are having fun.

Close your eyes and you will find

There are pictures in your mind

Things that you can see and feel

All those things are very real

Doesn't matter where you are

Make believe and there you are

You can be most anywhere,

When your imagination takes you there

Imagine you're a cuckoo clock (I'm not a cuckoo clock)

All day long, you go tick tock (tick tock)

Close your eyes and wish real hard

A cuckoo clock is what you are

Imagine you're a bird that flies (I'm not a bird that flies)

Soaring high up through the sky

Spread your wings and feel so free

A bird is what you're bound to be

Imagine, imagine,

And you can be anything you choose

Imagine, imagine,

Just be sure you never lose the power to...

Imagine you're an elephant (I'm a giant elephant)

Carrying a big long trunk (Thunk!)

It's with me everywhere I go (no!)

Who's to say it isn't so (Let's Go!)

I'm sliding down a chimney (I don't see a chimney)

Woopie, Whee! Look at me!

That's a hay chute, (No it's not!)

It's what they say it is (That's what!)

Imagine, imagine,

And life becomes a wonderful surprise

Imagine, imagine,

and dreams appear before your eyes

Doesn't matter where you are

Make believe and there you are

You can be most anywhere,

When your imagination takes you there

**Cody:** Okay, Barney! You're really here cause my imagination! Then, you're about to disappear!

**Girls:** Cody!

**Cody:** I do not believe in you.

**Cody:** Grrr! This is Barney the Dinosaur is NOT in this barn! I'm telling you Barney's in YOUR barn!

**Grandma:** I know, Cody, you told us at dinner.

**Grandpa:** Several times.

**Cody:** Listen to me, Grandma and Grandpa. Barney the Dinosaur is in YOUR barn! Isn't he?

**Abby:** Yeah.

**Grandma:** Marcella, don't leave your little doll out there all night.

**Grandma:** Now, Cody, I did notice at the table that someone ate like a dinosaur tonight.

Let me call you sweetheart

I'm in love with you

Let me hear you whisper,

That you love me too

Keep that love light glowing,

In your eyes so blue

Let me call you sweetheart

I'm in love with you

**Grandma:** Come on, handsome. You help me the dishes now.

**Grandpa:** Oh, gee. I'd like to-- But, that dishwasher makes my fingers all wrinkly.

**Marcella:** You tell him, Cody.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

**Barney:** You know, your song, so, sing along.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are!

**Barney:** Actually, I think it was a flea.

**Cody:** I wish! WISH! I wish I could have are real adventure this summer! Do things that no one else has DONE before! That would be cool! ( *sighs* ) Man, I must be losing it!

**Cody:** Whoa! What on going here?

( *pail shakes* )

**Marcella:** Well, what.

**Baby Bop:** Oh, hello. My name is Baby Bop and I'm looking for my blankey. It's lost. Have you seen it? It's this big and it's really really soft and it's yellow. Do you know? Where?

**Cody:** Well, Barney has IT.

**Grandpa:** Right. Where's Barney?

**Cody:** I'll go find out. Make sure they DON'T GO anywhere.

**Abby:** You have to see this egg.

**Marcella:** What bird lady?

**Grandma:** She's a bird watcher, dear, and I think she knows everything and eggs and birds. Why don't you children go on over there?

**Barney:**

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.

**Barney:** That's it.

If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.

If you're happy and you know it clap your hands.

**Cody:** (sighs) Never mind. I'm taking you to see my grandparents right now.

**Barney:** Oh, good. Bye, Fig.

**Cody:** Oh, Grandma will be in a second, okay? Hey, wait for me!

( *anqel lighthouse thunder rumbling at once* )

**Mrs. Goldfinch:** (whistle blowing)

**Mr. Millet:** How you doing today, Mrs. Goldfinch?

**Mrs. Goldfinch:** Hey, Mr. Millet!

**Mrs. Goldfinch:** This is my library.

Can you tell us what's inside the egg?

Tell us what it is.

Mrs. Goldfinch, what's inside the egg?

You are such a whiz!

Please don't ask me, I can't even guess.

Hey, don't drop it! There'll be such a mess!

When we found it, we were so impressed.

And we wonder what's inside it.

We can't see you, who's inside it?

Look around you, tell me what you see:

Miles and miles of books!

Somewhere there we're sure to find the key.

We're no pile of schnooks!

It's so gorgeous, really quite a catch,

And I wonder when it's gonna hatch.

Maybe this time, Cody's met his match.

**Cody:** I don't think so.

And we wonder what's inside it. We can't see you, who's inside it?

It's so pretty with its colored ring.

I just hope it doesn't have a sting.

What if it's a horrid reptile thing?

And we wonder what's inside it. We can't see you, who's inside it?

Maybe it's a baby chimpanzee. (Ooh-Ooh-Ooh-Ooh!)

Maybe it's a dinosaur like me!

Maybe it's a fluffy little duck.

So far, we aren't having and luck. (Ohh.)

Maybe it's a cousin of E.T.'s.

A tiny hummingbird!

Cody, you are such a silly tease.

This is quite absurd.

We are searching every single page.

Maybe we should put it in a cage.

Maybe that might put it in a rage.

And we wonder what's inside it.

We can't see you, who's inside it?

Don't you think that this is lots of fun? Dreams are fancy-free!

And I feel the fun has just begun. Just you wait and see.

There's nothing here that we can find.

One more book and I'm going blind.

But it seems that we don't really mind.

And we wonder what's inside it.

We can't see you, who's inside it?

Let's make sure we don't run out of steam.

We must stick together as a team!

Then we know we're sure to find our dream.

And we wonder what's inside it.

We can't see you, who's inside it?

**Abby:** Wait a second. What's that?

**Mrs. Goldfinch:** I don't know. A lot of pages are missing.

**Cody:** COME ON!!! Oh, rats! What does say it?

**Mrs. Goldfinch:** Every thousand years or so, and egg falls from the skies. Inside the shell the dream-maker prepares the big surprise. A visitor from days gone by who.

**Abby:** Barney, what does she mean?

**Barney:** Well, the egg is hatch, when, all five of the rings light up. But, it'll only.

**Abby:**

**Baby Bop:** Excuse me. I said, excuse me! Oh, that's better. I'm looking for my blankey. It's big, and it's really, really soft, it's yellow. Do you know where my blankey is?

**Crowd:** NO, BABY BOP!!!

**Baby Bop:** Oh, well. Thank you. Okay, you can go on now.

**Kids:** Barney!

**Barney:** There you are. Oh, I'm fine.

**Abby:** That's number three.

**Barney:** But, I don't know.

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops

Oh, what a rain that would be

Standing outside with my mouth open wide

Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops

Oh, what a rain that would be

If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes

Oh, what a snow that would be

Standing outside with my mouth open wide

Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah

Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah

If all the snowflakes were candy bars and milkshakes

Oh, what a snow that would be

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops

Oh, what a rain that would be

Standing outside with my mouth open wide

Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah

Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops

Oh, what a rain that would be

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops

Oh, what a rain that would be

Standing outside with my mouth open wide

Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah Ah-ah Ah

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops

Oh, what a rain that would

Oh, what a rain that would

Oh, what a rain that would be

**Barney:** Well, don't give up. When, the rain stops.

**Cody:**

**Abby:** What's wrong with just being a kid, Cody? What's wrong with that?

**Barney:** Oh, cheer up, Abby! We'll find that egg!

When it looks like all is lost and you're feeling really sad,

It doesn't do a bit of good to keep on feeling bad.

Just make up your mind that you're gonna see it through.

And soon I know you'll find that you can make your dreams come true.

We're gonna find a way.

We're a Super-Dee-Duper team.

And when we stick together, there's no storm we can't weather

No matter how dark it may seem.

We're gonna find a way.

We're gonna save the day.

We'll solve the situation with our imagination.

We're gonna find a way.

When things are going wrong, we can make our own good luck.

The only time we ever fail is when we just give up.

Don't be a quitter now. There's some tricks left up our sleeve.

We'll get through this somehow if we can only just believe.

We're gonna find a way.

We're a Super-Dee-Duper team.

And when we stick together, there's no storm we can't weather

No matter how dark it may seem.

We're gonna find a way.

We're gonna save the day.

We'll solve the situation with our imagination.

(Dance break)

We're gonna find a way.

**Marcella:** I don't know.

**Abby:** Me, neither. Cody?

**Barney:** Come back! No!

**Cody:** Right, Barney.

**Barney:** Right. Yes.

**Cody:** Come on!

**Abby:** Cody!

**Marcella:** Okay, all aboard the log.

**Abby:** Okay.

**Barney:** Okay.

**Abby:** Make believe. Make believe.

**Barney:** Oh, I think. We need your help. I'd like you to pretend that we can really fly. Let's all do it together. Ready? One, two, three, now!

( *music playing and chorus vocalizing softy* )

**Grandma:** My stars! What happened? Are you all right?

**Abby:** We were

**Grandma:** Yes. The very beginning.

**Grandpa:** Let's start over again. This is all about an egg?

**Grandma:** Oh, my! What's it doing?

**Marcella:** It's time for the Dream Maker to hatch.

**Abby:** Quick, Cody, you've gotta put the back exactly where you found it.

**Baby Bop:** *It's wiggling!* Ohh!

( *all exclaim in astonishment* )

**Barney:** *It's cracking!*

It's everywhere!

It's hatching!

**Barney:** Oh. ( *giggles* )

( *excited chattering* )

**Grandma:** Oh, it's wonderful!

**Grandma:** He's a lot like.

(coos little sad)

**Cody:** Barney?

**Barney:** Yes, Cody.

**Cody:** I'd just like to say that I was a big doofus before and I think you're pretty cool.

**Barney:** Thank you, Cody. Well, I think you're pretty cool, too.

**Grandma:** Where's he going?

I love you, you love me.

We're a happy family.

With a great big hug

And a kiss from me to you,

Won't you say you love me too?

**Baby Bop:**

I love you, you love me,

We're best friends,

Like friends should be

With a great big hug,

And a kiss from me to you,

Won't you say you love me too?

I love you, you love me.

We're a happy family.

With a great big hug

And a kiss from me to you,

Won't you say you love me too?

**Grandpa:** Barney, this is a-- But, where is he? Well, they're both gone!

**Abby:** Well, Barney wouldn't just leave!

**Grandma:** No!

**Baby Fig:** ( *garbled* ) Barney.

( *music ends* )

**Stephen Bishop:** Don't ever start giving up,

Even when you're out of luck.

Remember when you get stuck,

You can do anything.

With courage and confidence,

You'll jump over any fence.

To worry makes no sense,

'Cause you can do anything.

Anything, anything.

Anything you do

Can change your point of view

A lemon got so dismayed,

Until he made lemonade.

That's how dreams are made.

You can do anything.

Anything, anything.

Show your friends that you

Know just what to do.

Anything,

Anything at all

Can make you feel

You're ten feet tall.

It's simple as ABC.

A quitter, I'll never be.

It's up to you and me.

'Cause we can do anything.

Anything...

We can do anything...

We can do anything...

We can do anything...

We can do anything...

We can do anything...

**Colin Boyd:** Don't fear the stormy sky.

The sun shines bright when the clouds pass by.

To me, it's very plain.

Rainbows follow the rain.

Don't fear the stormy sky.

The sun shines bright when the clouds pass by.

To me, it's very plain.

Rainbows follow the rain.

Don't fear the stormy sky.

The sun shines bright when the clouds pass by.

To me, it's very plain.

Rainbows follow the rain. (2x)

**Bernadette Peters:** So, Barney,

Our purple friend,

Our friendship

Will never end.

And even when we're grown,

We'll be glad we've known

Barney's world of imagination.

Barney's world of imagination!
