VERSE 1:

I saw a poster at the station

Said the carnival's in town

With an enchanting fortune-teller

Who could take a frown and turn it up-side-down

I went and found her painted wagon

Raised the knocker on her door

Suddenly, she swung it open

Saying, "I know what it is you're looking for"



CHORUS:

Ooo, that girl's got magic

I could see and feel it in her eyes

Ooo, that girl's got magic

Every wink and smile hides a sweet surprise



VERSE 2:

Then we held hands around a candle

Staring deep into the flame

Suddenly, I had this tingly feeling

That she had somehow crawled inside my brain

She said that , "I see something tragic.

Darkness is creeping towards your life.

If you don't do exactly what I tell you,

You will never have a family or a wife"



CHORUS:

Ooo, that girl's got magic

I could see and feel it in her eyes

Ooo, that girl's got magic

Every wink and smile hides a sweet surprise



BRIDGE:

She said, "You're going on a journey

So, close your eyes, and we'll both take a ride"

Next thing I know we're on a magic carpet

Circling the moon and streaking 'cross the sky



VERSE 3:

Then we landed on a hillside

And did the jiggerbug thru town

We got all jiggly with some giggly loving

While the music kept us spinnin' 'round and 'round

She did not use a magic potion

No secret spells or magic words

She simply wrapped her arms around me

And we took off like a pair of love-sick birds



REPRISE:

Now we both live inside her wagon

Filled with kids that seem to grow on trees

She stills claims it comes from magic

While I still blame the jitterbug and the birds and the bees



CHORUS:

Ooo, that girl, she's got magic

Far beyond the Midas touch

I don't know who gave it to her

I wanna shake their hands and thank them

I wanna shake their hands and thank them

I wanna shake their hands and thank them very much

For the magic

Oh, the magic

The girl's got magic

Oh, magic

Magic, magic, magic
