Magician Man

[Rose, (Becki & Gwenno)]

There was this girl, and she looked like a school teacher

With strappy sandals and a cotton dress

And her hair was always in a long, long plait

With big white clips to keep it all in

And stop it falling out

And stop it falling out

And she did the Charleston to every sort of music

Especially if it was punk

Then it would be the Charleston sped up

And the first time I saw her, she was dancing all alone (Ooh)

In the middle of a red-carpeted room

And everyone was watching, but pretending not to (Ooh)

She was quite something, and she knew all my friends' names (Ooh)

But I don't think she'd remember mine (Ooh)

Then he said:

My pretty baby, would you like to dance? (My pretty baby, would you like to dance?)

And I thought:

My pretty baby, I might give you a chance (My pretty baby, give you a chance)

And he said:

My little lady, you must understand (My little lady)

That I am not a magician, I am nothing but a man

But it didn't matter anyway, because we danced all the same (Ooh)

And it seemed to me, we were dancing better than her (Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

Much better (Ooh)

And I smoked 4 cigarettes that night, and 5 the next day (Ooh)

And 6 the next night (Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba)

To share a cigarette, and remember all the ones we shared before (Ooh)

But I still remember that night (Ooh, still remember)

And I still remember the red-carpeted room (Still remember)

And I still remember it when he came up to me and said (Still remember)

Yeah, I still remember when he came up to me and said

(Still remember, still remember, still remember)

He said:

My pretty baby, would you like to dance? (My pretty baby, would you like to dance?)

And I thought:

My pretty baby, I might give you a chance (My pretty baby, give you a chance)

Then he said:

My little lady, you must understand (My little lady)

That I am not a magician, I am nothing but a man

(Nothing but a man)

My pretty baby, would you like to dance? (My pretty baby, would you like to dance?)

And I thought:

My pretty baby, I might give you a chance (My pretty baby, give you a chance)

Then he said:

My little lady, you must understand (My little lady)

That I am not a magician, I am nothing but a man (Nothing but a man)

(My magician)

(My magician)

(My magician)

He's my magician man (My magician)

(My magician man)

(My magician man)

(My magician man)

He's my magician man (My magician man)

He's my magician man (My magician man)

He's my magician man (My magician man)
