Animal Magic |
What did you mean when you opened your mouth and let all our secrets out? |
You told him what I was about, my cover was completely blown. |
I tell you darling, I’ve been watching the war films |
And I’ve got a few ideas of my own, |
'cos after the film had ended, the call for recruits was shown, |
And I’ll be joining the professionals, I want to be a man. |
With all that animal magic I’ll do anything you can. |
I’m joining the professionals 'cos I want to be a man, |
Look! |
I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear… |
Join the professionals and learn to fight! |
I bet the two of you still laugh at me for being timid as a lamb; |
That may be the way I look, but it’s no longer what I am. |
I’ve been across to Northern Ireland, |
And I came home with a new kind of charge: |
I learned how to hunt in the night, I learned about camouflage. |
I’ve been joining the professionals, and now that I’m a man |
With all that animal magic I’ll match anything you can. |
I’m joining the professionals, this time I understand, |
Look! |
I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear… |
Join the professionals and learn to fight! |
