| You're off in outer space. I'm here on earth. | |
| On any given day the order is reversed. | |
| There's no denying all the sadness that's occurred. | |
| Lower the landing gear, turn on the magic words. | |
| Say the magic words that I'd love to hear. | |
| Catalog the birds that are living near your house this year. | |
| Your disappearing act, my sleight of hand. | |
| The curtain's closing, and they're striking up the band. | |
| No use recalling the misfortunes we've endured. | |
| Bring down the house lights, and bring on the magic words. | |
| Say the magic words that I'd love to hear. | |
| Catalog the birds that are living near your house this year. | |
| La la la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| La la la la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| La la la la la la la, la la la la la. | |
| La la la la la la la, la la la la. | |
| Say the magic words that I'd love to hear. | |
| Catalog the birds that are living near your house... | |
| Say the magic words that I'd love to hear. | |
| Catalog the birds that are living near your house this year. |
