That Old Black Magic Songtext
von Johnny Hartman

That old black magic has me in its spell
Old black magic that you weave so well
Icy fingers up and down my spine
Same old witchcraft, your eyes meet mine

That same old tingle that I feel inside
When that elevator starts its rise
Down and down I go
Well, around and ′round I go, I'm like a leaf caught in the tide

I should stay away, what can I do?
Hear your name and I′m aflame, aflame, burning desire
That only your kiss, kiss, kiss can put out the fire
You are the lover I have waited for
Mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby, down, down I go, 'round and 'round I go
I′m in a spin, I′m loving a spin that I'm in
I′m under that old black magic called love


Huh, Matilda, Matilda, Matilda takes your money and run to Venezuela
A little louder
Matilda, Matilda, Matilda takes your money and run to Venezuela
Another time now
Matilda, Matilda, Matilda takes your money and run to Venezuela

I stay away, what can I do?
Hear your name, and I'm aflame, aflame, burning desire
That only your kiss, kiss, kiss can put out the fire
You are the lover I have waited for
Mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby, down and down I go, ′round and 'round I go
I′m in a spin, I'm loving a spin that I'm in
I′m under that old black magic called love

Yeah, let′s play a different kind of old black magic
So there's great coming, Harker′s Lina
Shame to go to Ziggy's, Vainly Green
That could lock me, shame upon my run son
Face of luck, face of fate and zig, soon come son
That could lock me, shame upon my run son
Face of luck, face of fate and zig, soon come son

Who you laughing at?
Sammy Davis don′t even know that song yet
Under that old Black magic called love
