Hiss of snake, swimming from the lakes
Human stomach, which rarely aches
Eye of newt, toe of frog
In the swamp, get bark of log
Hocus pocus feather of dove
Make me be the one they love
Hair of bear, blood of baboon
Beautiful perfume, helium from balloon
Hair of lady, boy of lies
Sack of potatoes, sharks eyes
Hocus pocus feather of dove
Make me be the one they love
Flags of earth , earth’s eternal flame
France, Spain, Scotland, must get this aime
Golden star, Butterflies wings
Crunchie bar, Saturn’s rings.
Hocus pocus feather of dove
Make me be the one they love
