That Old Black Magic Songtext

von Sammy Davis Jr.

THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC
In the style of Sammy Davis Jr.;
Words and Music by Johnny Mercer & Harold Arien
Key: Eb

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

That same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go,
Round and round I go
Like a leaf thats caught in the tide.

I should stay away, but what can I do
I hear your name, and I‘m aflame,
Aflame with such a burning desire
That only your kiss can put out that fire.

You are the lover I have waited for
You‘re the 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
In a spin, ooh, and I‘m lovin the Spin that I‘m in
Under that old black magic called love.

(Instrumental)

You‘re the lover that I have waited for
The mate that fate had me created for
And every time your lips meet mine
Baby, down and down I go, all around and round I go.
In a spin, crazy 'bout the spin I'm in
Under that old black magic called love.
That old black magic called love!
That old black magic called love!
