Don’t Look Now
[J.J.]
Magicians always tell ya’
They got nothin’ up their sleeve
But why would would someone tell ya’ that
Unless it’s to deceive?
There’s always been a lie
To misdirect the eye
Since Adam did his magic tricks for Eve
Don’t ever trust a gent
Who pulls a bird from someone’s ear
That makes his living
Making you believe that he’s sincere
He’s lookin’ for a chump
Expectin’ you to jump
When he pours on all the charm and says
“I need a volunteer”

Don’t look now
But somethin’ that ya’ had is gone
It’s somethin’ you depend upon
Don’t look now
Take a bow
Someone made a fool of you
You’re stadin’ there without a clue
Don’t look now
He took you to the cleaners
Don’t ya’ know?
He walked you like a dog
So and so
So say “bow wow”
A piece of whatcha’ had is gone
The magic act goes on and on
You’re wonderin’ when, where and how
Well don’t look now

[J.J. & MEN]
Strollin’ across the avenue
Cutting across the park

[J.J.]
Rushin’ to make a rendezvous
You could become a mark
Somehow the magic will find you

[J.J. & WOMEN]
Find you alone in the dark
Maybe we get to choose our spots
Maybe we choose the gate

[J.J.]
Maybe we get to call the shots
Maybe it’s up to fate
[J.J. & WOMEN]
Somehow the magic will find you
Find you alone
Alone in the dark

Don’t look now
But somethin’ that ya’ had is gone

[J.J]
The magic act goes on and on

[J.J. & WOMEN]
Ya’ never know when where and how

[J.J.]
He’ll make your bunny disappear
Along with your hat
He’ll saw your girl in half
And then he’ll leave her like that

[J.J. & COMPANY]
So don’t look
Don’t look
Don’t look now
