See her at the carnival, where she comes from nobody knows

Now that you ask me, I guess I like the way she wears her clothes

The way she smiles at him, a heart just swells, it grows and grows

Think I'm tellin' you fairytales, I suppose



Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic

You see a little boy standing there

A ball in his hand and a feather in his hair

Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic

Magic carpet ride for you and me



When you're dealing with your brother man to man

And you need a helping hand

Yeah, baby, all you've gotta do is take a positive view

Ah you know you can, you really can, darling



Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic

You take the hand of your friend and do what's best

You got a whole lot of love, a lotta happiness

Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic

Magic carpet ride for you and me



Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic

Magic carpet ride for you and me
