HOCUS POCUS
(Saxon / Gimbel)

as recorded by Patti Page
with Jack Rael & his Orchestra
1956


Oh, if I could say hocus pocus
And make a grey sky blue,
Then merely say hocus pocus
And make you love me too!

I wouldn't say hocus pocus,
'Cause in my heart I know
If I need magic to win your love,
I'm better off letting you go!

Magic is for the magician,
So let him practice his art.
I want you on one condition,
Your love must come from your heart!

So if I could say hocus pocus
And change the day to night,
Then merely say hocus pocus
And make you hold me tight!

I wouldn't say hocus pocus,
'Cause in my heart I know
If I need magic to win your love,
I'm better off letting you go!
Hocus pocus!
