Lyrics

Houdini

You waltzed into this century with your act as tight as it could be
Just waiting for someone to share the plans you’d made
You met the sweetheart of your life, she married you, became your wide
Oh, Harry! You both were on your way!

Chorus:
Oh, Harry! You could do anything!
They said that you were an illusionist but all the while you confused us
You just took us on a trip of your own
And now you’ve left us thinking all alone.

You played the towns where no one cared
But still they watched with wonderous stares
Plain magic would never have left them so amazed

A brave young man with daring feats, you had them lined up on the streets
Oh, Harry! You knew! You’d really made the grade!

So, you traveled on throughout the land, the legend spreading ever grand
A hero the people could call their very own
The papers said your goals were high, but even when your hands were tied
Oh, Harry! You showed them! You weren’t a novice after all.

Chorus

The years would go by and they’d all tried to reach you Harry
But your words were left unfound
But then one night came the message so clear, it said
“Believe! Bessy! Believe in me!”

Though times you gave us are behind
When magic strikes you’re on our minds
Those memories you gave us will always make us smile

You entertained us tried and true and still we all remember you
Oh, Harry! You knew! Your dreams could never die.

Chorus

Oh, Harry! Oh, Harry! Oh, Harry!
