Magical Potion - Robert Calvert

I’ve tried every conceivable pill

To stop me from getting so ill

But when the ship starts to rock 'n' roll

I’ve got to reach for me medicine bowl

And it would take a magical potion

To carry me across the Atlantic Ocean

It’s no good you saying it’s quicker by air

I’d be very much sicker if I went up there

I’d like to see America

The President and his Cadillac car

Everything’s fine in America

But I don’t think that I’ll get that far

'Cause it would take a magical potion

To carry me across the Atlantic Ocean

No good you saying it’s quicker by air

I’d be sicker if I went up there

Everything in America’s fine

The Coca Cola and the Neon sign

Broadway is the place for me

Though it’s a place that I’ll never be

Me

I’d like to go to California

Put some flowers in my hair

I’d like to go to Hollywood

See the film-stars if I only could

But it would take a magical potion

To carry me across the Atlantic Ocean

It’s no good you saying it’s quicker by air

I know I’d be sicker if I went up there
