The Old Magician |
| The old magician takes the stage |
| His act has not improved with age |
| Observe the shabby hat and gloves |
| The tired act that no-one loves |
| There was a time he produced doves |
| A mirror and a puff of smoke |
| His mysteries are now a joke |
| His poor assistant black and blue |
| She’s tired of being sawn in two |
| She’s tired of being sawn in two |
| Hidden trapdoor, velvet cape |
| Still, from death there’s no escape |
| Words of sympathy and tact |
| Only underline the fact |
| Death is a lousy disappearing act |
| Lord have mercy and be kind |
| When our faculties unwind |
| Overlook the hat and gloves |
| The tired act that no-one loves |
| There was a time we produced doves |
| Overlook the hat and gloves |
| The tired act that no-one loves |
| There was a time we produced doves |
| The old magician takes the stage |
| With sleight of hand he’ll disengage |
| As dignified as you’ll allow |
| He’ll take his last, his final bow |
| He’s lost all his illusions now |
| As dignified as you’ll allow |
| He’ll take one last, one final bow |
| He’s lost all his illusions now |
