Hey Presto
Were the first words that we spoke
Now you say our love
Has gone up in a puff of smoke
You produced this love affair
Like a rabbit out of a hat
Now you say the whole thing's over
Baby, not like this
Just like that
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
You so easily can
With the sleight of your hand
Simply up and vanish
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
Just a tap on the door
And I shot through the floor
I dropped right out of your sight
The cards say it's over
And the knave he laughs
And taunts my Queen of Hearts
I'm the joker no one wants
It's all done with mirrors
But in the morning I don't look so hot
I thought that on reflection
You'd like it some
But not a lot
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
You so easily can
With the sleight of your hand
Simply up and vanish
I know when the magic's gone
Precipitates the tears
You say all my tricks are wrong
The best thing I can do is disappear
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
You so easily can
With the sleight of your hand
Simply up and vanish
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
Just a tap on the door
And I shot through the floor
I dropped right out of your sight
Now you say our love
Has gone up in a puff of smoke
You produced this love affair
Like a rabbit out of a hat
Now you say the whole thing's over
Baby, not like this
Just like that
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
You so easily can
With the sleight of your hand
Simply up and vanish
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
Just a tap on the door
And I shot through the floor
I dropped right out of your sight
The cards say it's over
And the knave he laughs
And taunts my Queen of Hearts
I'm the joker no one wants
It's all done with mirrors
But in the morning I don't look so hot
I thought that on reflection
You'd like it some
But not a lot
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
You so easily can
With the sleight of your hand
Simply up and vanish
I know when the magic's gone
Precipitates the tears
You say all my tricks are wrong
The best thing I can do is disappear
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
You so easily can
With the sleight of your hand
Simply up and vanish
Hey presto, this is
The best illusion of my life
Just a tap on the door
And I shot through the floor
I dropped right out of your sight
