The Magical Mouth

I see you're like me
Still up to your tricks
Once you found out
Your mouth is magic

It can make a heart float
With no strings attached 
Or with the right bite
Saw people in half

No need for a sleeve 
To hide your tricks in
Sound from your mouth
Is where the magic begins

Take people you know
And make them disappear  
As it's on with the show
While showing no fear

Or draw a crowd
That magically smiles
As the mouth waves the tongue
Like a wand about

It doesn't use mirrors
To hide the effect
Though it's never been best
At secrets kept

Try and be careful 
When using it though
When the mouth starts in on its tricks
You never know the direction it'll go
