Gabriel Peter Animal Magic lyrics

What did you mean when you opened your mouth and let all our secrets out?
You told him what I was about, my cover was completely blown.
I tell you darling, I`ve been watching the war films
And I`ve got a few ideas of my own,
`cos after the film had ended, the call for recruits was shown,

And I`ll be joining the professionals, I want to be a man.
With all that animal magic I`ll do anything you can.
I`m joining the professionals `cos I want to be a man,
Look! I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear...
Join the professionals and learn to fight!

I bet the two of you still laugh at me for being timid as a lamb;
That may be the way I look, but it`s no longer what I am.
I`ve been across to Northern Ireland,
And I came home with a new kind of charge:
I learned how to hunt in the night, I learned about camouflage.

I`ve been joining the professionals, and now that I`m a man
With all that animal magic I`ll match anything you can.
I`m joining the professionals, this time I understand,
Look! I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear...
Join the professionals and learn to fight!
