 B            E   B           E
Happy little day Jimmy went away
 B              E          F#
Met his little Jenny on a public holiday
   B               E       B          E
A happy pair they made so decorously laid
            B         E            F#
'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade

Chorus:
	 A                                   E    B/D#   C#
It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air
C/G#  C#    B   E
I'll weave my spell

Jenny will you stay tarry with me pray
Nothing e'er need come between us
Tell me love what do you say?
Oh no I must away to my mum in disarray
If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday

Chorus:
It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air
I'll say farewell

C#      B  E             A
Oh rock of ages do not crumble
          E
Love is breathing still
C#       F#
Oh lady moon shine down
   B                          A
A little people magic if you will

Jenny pines away, writes a letter everyday
"We must ever be together
Nothing can my love erase"
Oh no, I'm compromised, I must apologize
If my lady should discover
How I spent my holidays
