The Magic Poem

As a kid I recited this in school:

Abracadabra,
I sit on his knee.

Presto chango,
and now he is me.

Hocus pocus,
we take her to bed.

Magic is fun;
we’re dead.

Creeped out my classmates.

I didn’t even have a dummy.

Well, actually...

Isn't it "Magic is fun...WHEN YOU'RE dead"?

You can see the original trailer on youtube

Everyone I know hears it as "We're dead!" but apparently it's a commonly misheard line.

"I've been living on toxic waste for years, and I'm fine. Just ask my other heads!"
