Robert Calvert - Magical Potion lyrics

I've tried every conceivable pill

to stop me from getting so ill

but when the ship starts to rock n roll

I've got to reach for me medical bowl

And it would take a magical potion

to carry me across the Atlantic ocean

it's no good you saying it's quicker by air

I'd be very much sicker if I went up there.

I'd like to see America

the President and his Cadillac car.

Everythings fine in America

but I don't think that I'll get that far

'cause it would take a magical potion

to carry me across the Atlantic ocean

no good you saying it's quicker by air

I'd be sicker if I went up there.

Everything in America's fine

the Coca Cola and the Neon sign

Broadway is the place for me

though it's a place that I'll never be

I'd like to go to California

put some flowers in my hair

I'd like to go to Hollywood

see the film-stars if I only could

But it would take a magical potion

to carry me across the Atlantic ocean

no good you saying it's quicker by air

I know I'd be sicker if I went up there.
