[00:00:00] Written by：Paddy Mc Aloon

[00:00:05] The old magician takes the stage

[00:00:09] His act has not improved with age

[00:00:13] Observe the shabby hat and gloves

[00:00:17] The tired act that no one loves

[00:00:21] There was a time he produced doves

[00:00:28] A mirror and a puff of smoke

[00:00:32] His mysteries are now a joke

[00:00:36] His poor assistant black and blue

[00:00:40] She's tired of being sawn in two

[00:00:44] She's tired of being sawn in two

[00:00:50] Hidden trapdoor velvet cape

[00:00:54] Still from death there's no escape

[00:00:59] Words of sympathy and tact

[00:01:03] Only underline the fact

[00:01:06] Death is a lousy disappearing act

[00:01:36] Lord have mercy and be kind

[00:01:40] When our faculties unwind

[00:01:44] Overlook the hat and gloves

[00:01:48] The tired act that no one loves

[00:01:52] There was a time we produced doves

[00:01:56] Overlook the hat and gloves

[00:02:00] The tired act that no one loves

[00:02:04] There was a time we produced doves

[00:02:11] The old magician takes the stage

[00:02:15] With sleight of hand he'll disengage

[00:02:19] As dignified as you'll allow

[00:02:23] He'll take his last his final bow

[00:02:27] He's lost all his illusions now

[00:02:31] As dignified as you'll allow

[00:02:35] He'll take one last one final bow

[00:02:39] He's lost all his illusions now
