Lyrics

[LADAHLORD] The core of this concoction can't be purchased at the auction Can't be plucked from any shelf in any store But if each step is taken Wild magic will awaken Wild magic like you've never seen before Open wide and crawl inside The skin of something new If you believe what's up my sleeve I'll spin a spell for you Then sippity sip A magical trip Your troubles are skipping town Once the bubblin' broth is frothing thick Then gobble it quickly down Shake it up, shake it up Mix around and around Hear that bop, that piping popping sound Give a twist and a turn Let it brim, lеt it burn We're gonna whip that potion up Then gobblе it down, gobble it down [LADAHLORD, spoken] Okay, James, what's it gonna be? [JAMES, spoken] I choose this one! Slithering crocodile tongues.  [LADAHLORD, spoken] A connoisseur! First we're gonna need these- [JAMES, spoken] Ouch! [LADAHLORD, spoken] Precisely ten hairs from your head, into the bag they go. Now, we must gather the rest of the ingredients and put them in here. Got it? [JAMES, spoken] Got it! [LADAHLORD, sung] Ah, milkweed milk A strand of silk A rare Osaki juice Two ravens' claws Four tiger paws The marrow of a moose Then add to our soup Tarantula poop! The tiniest scoop will do And plop in a drop of sloppy joe Made from chopped up kangaroo, yeah! [LADAHLORD & JAMES] Shake it up, shake it up (Shake it up, shake it up) Mix around and around (Mix around and around) [LADAHLORD & JAMES] Hear that bop, that piping poppin' sound [LADAHLORD & JAMES] Give a twist and a turn (Give a twist and a turn) Let it brim, let it burn (Let it brim, let it burn) [LADAHLORD & JAMES] We're gonna whip that potion up Then gobble it down, gobble it down [JAMES, spoken] Look! There are green things wiggling in the bag! [ENSEMBLE] (Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up) [LADAHLORD, spoken] Those are the slithering crocodile tongues! [ENSEMBLE] (Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up) [JAMES, spoken] Ew.  [LADAHLORD, spoken] No, James, that means the magic is working! Can you dig it? [JAMES, spoken] I can dig it! [LADAHLORD, spoken] Are you ready, James? [JAMES, spoken] Oh, I'm ready! [ENSEMBLE, sung] You know what to do [ENSEMBLE & LADAHLORD/JAMES] Shake it up, shake it up (Shake it up, shake it up) Mix around and around (Mix around and around) [COMPANY] Hear that bop, that pipin' poppin' sound Give a twist and a turn (Give a twist and a turn) Let it brim, let it burn (Let it brim, let it burn) We're gonna whip that potion up Then gobble it down, gobble it down Gobble it down, gobble it down Gobble it- [ENSEMBLE & LADAHLORD/JAMES] (Down!) Mixing, twisting, shaking Feel that magic waking Whip that blob And gobble it down! [LADAHLORD, spoken] Yeah! [JAMES, spoken] Yeah.
