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