Animal Magic

What did you mean when you opened your mouth and let all our secrets out?

You told him what I was about, my cover was completely blown.

I tell you darling, I've been watching the war films

And I've got a few ideas of my own,

'cos after the film had ended, the call for recruits was shown,

And I'll be joining the professionals, I want to be a man.

With all that animal magic I'll do anything you can.

I'm joining the professionals 'cos I want to be a man,

Look! I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear...

Join the professionals and learn to fight!

I bet the two of you still laugh at me for being timid as a lamb;

That may be the way I look, but it's no longer what I am.

I've been across to Northern Ireland,

And I came home with a new kind of charge:

I learned how to hunt in the night, I learned about camouflage.

I've been joining the professionals, and now that I'm a man

With all that animal magic I'll match anything you can.

I'm joining the professionals, this time I understand,

Look! I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear...

Join the professionals and learn to fight!
