Let us strike a bargain
You possess a gift
But I can speak the jargon
That will give your gift the needed lift
You possess the know-how
And I command the show-how
Oh, how successful you could beโ
With me!
Eglantine, Eglantine
Oh, how you'll shine
Your lot and my lot
Have got to combine
Eglantine, Eglantine
Hark to the stars
Destiny calls us
The future is ours
As the shine sells the boot
And the blossomsโthe fruit
All you need to succeed in your plan
Is the proper ally
Upon whom to rely
And I'm your man
For I have an acumen
That's nigh superhuman
I sell things that nobody can
So I humbly suggest
You accept my behest
I'm your man
Eglantine, Eglantine
Oh, how you'll shine
Your lot and my lot
Have got to combine
Eglantine, Eglantine
Hark to the stars
Destiny calls us
The future is ours
With my expert pantomiming
The proper taste and timing
I'll introduce you in the manner grand
I'll whet their appetite for you
I'll set the scene so right for you
We'll have the beggars eating out of your hand
As the words sell the tune
And the moonbeamsโthe moon
All you need to succeed in your plan
Is a champion rare
With a flourish and a flair
And I'm your man
ย
I have always had a bit of a knack for witchcraft
Common spells and simple charms came naturally
So when the war began
I conjured up a plan
To do my bit in the national emergency
I enrolled in your Correspondence College of Witchcraft
And I slaved at every lesson as it came
But the spell I counted on
Is the lesson that is gone
It's disappeared
And you're the one to blame!
Your suggestions are rash
And your manner is brash
And I've no time to waste, Mr. Brown
If I am to proceed
It's that book that I need
Don't let me down
But if you'll see me through
I'll discuss it with you
Though I've no taste for playing the clown
If I meet with success
Then I might acquiesceโ
I won't let you down!
Eglantine, Eglantine
Oh, how you'll shine
Your lot and my lot
Have got to combine
Eglantine, Eglantine
Hark to the stars
Destiny calls us
The future is ours!
