Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems  



Magical Song

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1967 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1995.


I know a magical song,
Make you sound like a Chinese gong,
Ev'rybody will sing along
To the magical song
Bump-a-doodle dee doo.

I know a magical tune,
Make you sound like a wild bassoon,
Ride away around the moon,
To the magical tune.
Bump-a-doodle dee doo.

I know a magical toot,
Make you sound like an Indian flute
Tootling into a rubber boot,
Magical toot.
Bump-a-doodle dee doo.

I know a magical sound
Make you sound like a merry-go-round,
Everybody riding up and down,
To this magical sound.
Bump-a-doodle dee doo.

I know a magical song,
Make you sound like a Chinese gong,
Ev'rybody will sing along
To the magical song
Bump-a-doodle dee doo.
