The Potion Tempo: 122 BPM (Locked-in, dry synth-funk) Vibe: Arrogant, smooth, hypnotic (Intro) (A tight, robotic drum machine beat kicks in—dry snare, rapid-fire hi-hats) (Heavy, percussive slap bass enters) “Check the watch... yeah. Still early.” “Hey Ricky Robot? Bring me the glass. I think she’s ready for a trick.” (Verse 1) Step into my parlor, sugar, don't be shy I see that look of wonder in your eye I ain't talkin' 'bout cards, I ain't talkin' 'bout hats I got a different kind of magic, imagine that I’m the master of the sleight of hand The baddest conjurer in all the land. (Chorus) Baby, I’m your Wizard Man Honey, let me love you like no other man You’re lookin’ thirsty, and the night is young Woman, I got a potion for ya—on the tip of my tongue. (Verse 2) See this little vial? It’s a secret blend One sip of this and your heartache ends It’s got a dash of '82, a drop of "cool" It’ll make a genius act just like a fool I don’t need a wand to make the sparks fly I just lean real close and look you in the eye. (Chorus) Baby, I’m your Wizard Man (What time is it?) Honey, let me love you like no other man You’re lookin’ thirsty, and the night is young Woman, I got a potion for ya—on the tip of my tongue. (Bridge) (The bass gets aggressive, keyboards play sharp, staccato stabs) Abracadabra... Hocus Pocus... Keep your eyes on me, baby... Stay in focus. (Spoken) "Ricky Robot! Is my suit straight? Good. Now watch this..." (Guitar & Synth Breakdown) (Clean, rhythmic guitar scratches interlock with a "sawtooth" synth solo) (Verse 3) Now you’re floatin’ six inches off the floor Beggin’ this Wizard to give you some more I’ll make your boyfriend disappear in a puff of smoke That man’s a parlor trick, baby—a total joke Now step into the velvet, let the music play I’m gonna magic all your blues away. (Outro) Baby, I’m your Wizard Man. (Yeah, I’m magic.) Like no other man. (Check the mirror. Still lookin’ good.) I got a potion for ya. (It’s purple... and it’s potent.) What’s my name? Say it loud. (Fade out with rapid-fire hi-hats and a final synth stab)
