Lyrics Magical Potion - Robert Calvert

Magical Potion

I’ve tried every conceivable pill
To stop me from getting so ill
But when the ship starts to rock 'n' roll
I’ve got to reach for me medicine bowl
And it would take a magical potion
To carry me across the Atlantic Ocean
It’s no good you saying it’s quicker by air
I’d be very much sicker if I went up there
I’d like to see America
The President and his Cadillac car
Everything’s fine in America
But I don’t think that I’ll get that far
'Cause it would take a magical potion
To carry me across the Atlantic Ocean
No good you saying it’s quicker by air
I’d be sicker if I went up there
Everything in America’s fine
The Coca Cola and the Neon sign
Broadway is the place for me
Though it’s a place that I’ll never be
Me
I’d like to go to California
Put some flowers in my hair
I’d like to go to Hollywood
See the film-stars if I only could
But it would take a magical potion
To carry me across the Atlantic Ocean
It’s no good you saying it’s quicker by air
I know I’d be sicker if I went up there
