We must be out of our minds
Though we are shipmates and bound for tomorrow

‘Cause if you believe in magic

[Chorus]

‘Cause if you believe in magic
You have the universe at your command
[Chorus Melody]

Da, da, da, da, da, da, da
[Chorus]
We must believe in magic
We must believe in the guiding hand
‘Cause if you believe in magic
You have the universe at your command
