Story Behind The Song
My first attempt at a slightly jazzy big band swing song. Finger clickin' good?
Song Description
Revisit of the 1930's/40's big band swing era. Old-fashioned view of love as an elixir, kind of magic potion. You might find a song like this in an old 1940's movie (e.g. Road to Morocco - Crosby & Hope) with a stage nightclub lady singer setting.

Lyrics
It's old-fashioned, it's nothing new
A magic potion, tried, trusted and true
I'm cooking up a special brew for you
Very special brew for you
Elixir of love
Is the right recipe
Elixir of love for you and me
Elixir of love
Elixir of love
Liquid voodoo
Elixir of love for me and you
Elixir of love
I'm a wizard at chemistry and I'll
Distil the essence of our destiny
A magic potion with high energy
Magic potion with high energy
