Sammy Davis Jr. - That Old Black Magic Lyrics






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
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

The same old tingle that I feel inside
When that elevator starts its ride
Down and down I go, round and round I go
Like a leaf that's 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 the fire

You are the lover that I've 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 I go
In a spin, loving the spin that I'm in
Under that old black magic called love

    Lyrics:
    That old black magic has me in its spell
    That old black magic that you weave so well
    Man I got those fingers, up and down my spine
    The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine

    The same old tingle that I feel inside
    And then that elevator starts its ride
    And down and a down and a down I go
    Around and around and around I go
    Like a leaf a leaf that's caught in the tide


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

    You're the lover .. I have waited for
    Hey you're the mate, the one, the chick, the thing
    That I was just created for
    And every time your lips meet mine

    Down I go, Round I go
    Like a leaf a leaf that's caught in a tide

    Whoo Woah Woah I should stay away
    But what can I do, I hear your name
    And it drives me insane
    I'm aflame with such a burning desire
    That only your kiss your kiss your kiss your kiss
    You gotta put out the fire

    You're the love the love the lover that I have been waiting for
    You're the one
    You're the mate that I was created for
    And every time you're lips meet mine
    Well, down and down and down I go,
    Around and around and around I go
    In a spin, Man and I dig that spin I'm in

    Foom balaka choomba
    Old black magic called
    You're a dirty robber
    Old black magic called
    Ho Ha stay in the car
    Old black magic called
    You four men go that way the rest of you come with me
    Under that old black magic
    Woah Woah Woah Woooaah
