You’re sailing softly through the sun
In a broken stone age dawn
You fly so high
I get a strange magic
Oh, what a strange magic
Oh, it’s a strange magic
Got a strange magic
Got a strange magic
That old black magic has me in its spell,
The old black magic that you weave so well,
I’ve got those icy, icy fingers up and down my spine,
The same old witchcraft, when your eyes met mine…
I got a black magic woman
Got a black magic woman
Yes, I got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can’t see
But she’s a black magic woman
And she’s tryin’ to make a devil out of me
I know you’ve deceived me, now here’s a surprise
I know that you have, 'cause there’s magic in my eyes
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah
Now the phone’s ringing off the wall
And everybody says it’s so
I got a broken heart comin’ and they want me to know
And I’ve heard it all
I don’t need a crystal ball.
Word got around to the barflies and the baptists,
My Mama’s phone started ringin’ off the hook…
This ain’t your Mama’s broken heart…
He’s a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist, a Jain,
a Buddhist and a Baptist and a Jew
and he knows he shouldn’t kill
and he knows he always will
Kill for me my friend and me for you.
Siam’s gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
I don’t see you guys rating
The kind of mate I’m contemplating
I’d let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you
We are Siamese if you please,
We are Siamese if you don’t please,
We are former residents of Siam,
There are no finer cat than I am.
I wish I could be carefree and wild,
But I got cat class,
And I got cat style…
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain.
Don’t bother asking for explanations,
She’ll just tell you that she came,
In the year of the cat.
I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel’s face
God bless Lili St. Cyr.
From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the oceans,
White with foam.
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
No more from that cottage
Again I will roam
Be it ever so humble
There’s no place like home
Home where my thought’s escaping,
Home where my music’s playing,
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
You know in heaven love comes first,
We’ll make heaven a place on earth,
Ooh, baby, heaven is a place on earth. …
If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there’s a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they’ve got a hell of a band, band, band
We’re an American band
We’re an American band
We’re comin’ to your town
We’ll help you party it down
We’re an American band
