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
