Up to His Old Tricks Lyrics
By Stephen Schwartz

 
     CHORUS
HEY, CAN'T YOU JUST FEEL THE STRANGE EXCITEMENT,
THE QUIET EMOTION THAT WE SHARE?
THERE'S SOMETHING LIKE TINGLING IN THE DARKNESS,
THERE'S SOMETHING ELECTRIC IN THE AIR.
'CAUSE THERE'S ONE THING I KNOW TURNS A MAN OF SIXTY
BACK INTO A CHILD OF SIX
WATCHING DUNNINGER, HOUDINI, OR DOUG--THE MAGIC MAN.
UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS.

YOU SPEND AN EVENING AT THE MOVIES
AND SMILE AT THE SHADOWS ON THE SCREEN.
YOU TURN ON A RADIO OR RECORD
AND DANCE TO A VOICE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN.
BUT THEY DON'T MAKE YOU GASP LIKE A SILLY SCHOOLBOY
OR GIGGLE LIKE A BUNCH OF HICKS
NOT LIKE DUNNINGER, HOUDINI, OR DOUG--THE MAGIC MAN
UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS.

     CHORUS
   (Whispered)
Clap!  Clap!

     SOLO
POP UP THE DUSTY FLOWER

     CHORUS (as before)
Hooray!  Hoorah!

     SOLO
BREAK OUT THE BOWL OF GOLDFISH AND THE SCARF

     CHORUS (as before)
Ooooo!   Ahhhhh!

     SOLO
SAW THE BEAUTIFUL LADY IN HALF AGAIN!

     CHORUS
   (Sung)
IT MAY NOT BE THE WORLD'S MOST ESTEEMED PROFESSION
BUT IT SURE BEATS LAW OR POLITICS
SO HERE'S TO DUNNINGER, HOUDINI, AND DOUG--THE MAGIC MAN

UP TO HIS OLD.......
TRICKS!
