lyrics

I had never seen before
Such magic I always thought to be lore
But you don't really care for magic do ya
Well that's too bad for you because
I saw this show last week it was
The best and it made me question how'd they do that

Two men wearing shiny coats
I pegged them for some crazy blokes
But the things they did on that stage made me rue that
First they put a guy in a box
Closed it spun it around a lot
When they opened it that guy was gone how'd they do that

Now one of them had a deck of cards
He picked a lady to shuffle it for
She drew a 7 of clubs and showed it to us
She shuffled it back in the deck and gasped
When he barfed up a card on her dress and asked
Is this your card and it was hers how'd they do that?

I grew comfortably mystified
I watched the magic before my eyes
They took out a bunny and put it into a hat
With a flick of their magic wand
We looked in the hat the bunny was gone
Then doves flew out of it seriously how'd they do that
How the hell did they do that

And just when I thought the show was done
They rolled out a table a woman sat on
She wiggled her feet as they draped a blanket onto her
The next thing I know they pull out a saw
Start chopping and hacking her torso apart
They sawed that lady in half now how'd they do that
