Sleight of Hand

(Music and Lyrics:  Sam Mullins)

Harry Houdini would have been very proud
And Blackstone an avid fan
But your misdemeanors have erased any doubt
That what I thought was magic
was really just sleight of hand.

Kettles and cauldrons are all very well
Hocus Pocus and guidance from hell
But you never needed those potions and spells
Cause what I thought was magic
Was really just sleight of hand.

Did you get a hand from below?
Do you LUV E. A. Poe?
Is the something up your sleeve
Nothing more than make believe?

Sleight of Hand

Summer in Maine

(Music and Lyrics:  Sam Mullins)

I spent my summers far away
Gave mom and dad a chance to play
It was a tiny fishing town
A place of almost no renown
Forgotten fishing town
I was just hanging round
Counting the days til summer’s end.

I found a world inside a shell
I saw my Gramma’s private hell
I was too young to take it in
Didn’t know the seven deadly sins
I was a world away
I marked off every day
God won’t you let the summer end

Have you seen Astro Boy?
I need his help
I can’t find Dale and Roy on channel 12.
The only show the old man let’s me watch is Lawrence Welk
Summer in Maine.
