Magic Potion
© 2013 Sue Fink

You say that as of late you’re feeling listless
The colors of your world have gone to grey
Your spirit sags, your love-life is quite… kiss-less
And what’s the use of romance, anyway?

You say you’re tired of crying, tired of trying
My friends, once I was that same shade of blue
I was just some sad-sack hound, until the day I found
This potion, which I now offer to YOU!
(magic potion, magic potion, magic potion)

It comes in a tiny vial, and it’s very versatile: Just one
Droplet every night ensures good dreams
If you spray some on your mirror you will see things so much clearer/
Rub it on your silver, and your silver gleams!

Sure, it cleans your shirts and pants, and if you
give it to your plants,
within minutes you can watch them bloom and grow
(bloom and grow!)
Just a little dab’ll do ya, you’ll be singin’ Hallelujah
as your suitors woo ya ’neath the mistletoe
(magic potion, magic potion, magic potion)

So many ways to use it – impossible to abuse it – it can
Heal broken bones, and hearts, and more
And I’d gladly jump through hoops if I could give it to our troops:
My friends, it’s guaranteed to end all war!

Now you’re lookin’ at me twice, and you’re thinkin’:
what’s the price?
I know this is not easy to conceive:
For you, it’s absolutely free – money matters not to me –
But: It will not work… unless: you do BELIEVE!
(believe, believe, believe…)

Yes, it is an oddity, faith as a commodity, but
If you have NONE, this potion’s just fool’s gold
Just a smidge is all you’ll need (no more than a mustard seed)
Then the potion will increase it seven-fold!

And once you have conviction, you’ll find it’s an addiction
You’ll keep desiring more, and that’s the catch:
Our own supply is running low, that’s why we need some of
yours now / So we can mix us up a brand new batch…

Of Magic Potion (magic potion) Magic Potion (magic potion)
Magic Potion (magic potion) Magic Potion (magic potion)…
Believe, believe, believe, believe, believe…
