Yes my love oh we are magicians you and I
And soon we'll see the cloud shapes in our eyes
are blind but fly forever just the same
Verse
Oh you - you've been sleeping in the rough
a travelling man took you by the hand and i still wonder
Why girl - you've got a pocket full of snuff
a meek and mild ragtime child who sometimes wonders
Why the crowds all stare
Mrs Porters crying keep that kid away from my bear
ive got 10 bob on that one and ill not be having no
mad assed kid do me wrong
and suddenly the curtain falls
Oh it -- it may well hap' to be
That there's magic wed in ragged threads
That you sleep under
To find ? theres an comfort in melody
To a mild and meek ragtime chic
And i still wonder
Why the crowds all stare
Mrs Porters crying keep that kid away from my bear
ive got 10 bob on that one and ill not be having no
mad assed kid do me wrong
and suddenly the curtain falls
Marys just a poor girl
Turned alabaster call girl with bruised and pale pins
Marys still a poor girl so through those gutters crawl girl
Your secrets sleeping in
Why the crowds all stare
Mrs Porters crying keep that kid away from my bear
ive got 10 bob on that one and ill not be having no
mad assed kid do me wrong
and suddenly the curtain falls

Yes my love oh we are magicians you and I
