Oh! Mister Magic Man
Performer(s): Harry Hemsley



I sometimes go to parties, although they're pretty tame
I often say I'll stop away, but go there all the same
But when the conj'rer gets there, then everything's O.K
I'd call him Mr. Magic Man, if I had my own way 

Oh Mr. Magic Man you fill us with surprise
You do so many clever things, before our wondering eyes
Watches, rings, and bracelets, they vanish out of sight
You think they're lost, oh no they're not, they come back quite all right

Sometimes he wants assistance, I'm pleased as pleased can be
If when he looks around the room, he casts his eyes on me
To help him with his magic, I quite enjoy the fun
And though I'm standing by his side, I don't know how it's done

Oh Mr. Magic Man you fill us with surprise
You do so many clever things, before our wondering eyes
From your hat comes rabbits, and purple turns to blue
Oh Magic Man, you're marvellous, what clever things you do

He asked one night for Dad's watch, he gave it him of course
He struck it with a hammer, and he struck it with such force
The watch just flew to pieces, and one boy shouted "Goal"
He gathered up the pieces, and restored the watch quite whole

Oh Mr. Magic Man you fill us with surprise
You do so many clever things, before our wondering eyes
I'm going to be a conj'rer myself when I am six
'cos my Dad said - on my birthday, he'll buy me a box of tricks
