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
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
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

Sammy Davis Jr. That Old Black Magic Comments
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
1:38 impromptu Jerry Lewis impression
This is my favourite version, but I can’t find it on an album. Thank you for uploading!
This is the best version of this song.
Who arranged this version? Nearly as good as Sammy's rendition.
When God made Sammy, he gave him a bit more than the rest of us.
The greatest talent in world history. Thank God for YouTube, he lives on forever.
what album is this version on? It's not the '55 Decca recording.
What an awesome, powerful, beautiful performance! One of the greatest of all time for me - immortal Sammy Davis Jr. still so overwhelming after all these years.
