[Intro]
Yellow yellow yellow yellow yellow magic's the name
The magic again
It's yellow magic
My yellow magic
It's yellow magic
My yellow magic
Don't you like us anymore?
[Verse 1]
I remember that day I was walking
In the street, and I was talking
Suddenly a lovely sound was starting
You should have been there my darling
[Pre-Chorus]
The next thing I knew,
as I was lookin' around
People were dancing in crowds...
They came from every direction
to the point of the sound
Millions of kids getting down...
[Chorus]
This is fantastic that's all I can say
Yellow yellow magic's the name,
It's yellow magic
Here in a world,
where you get entertained
Yellow yellow magic's the name,
My yellow magic
This is fantastic that's all I can say
Yellow yellow magic's the name,
It's yellow magic
Show me the worth it,
we're changing the game
Everybody's screaming again
A yellow magic
[Verse 2]
Yellow magic everybody knows it
Cant you see the game is starting
Take it baby feel it coming closer
This is called the yellow magic

Trivia[]
- The song uses two Disney-themed samples. One is "The Magic in the Air" from a Disney-themed commercial in the 90s, and the other is "Don't you like us anymore?" from Beauty and the Beast, spoken by Bradley Pierce as the sentient teacup Chip to Belle at the homecoming scene.
