lyrics

THE WIZARD OF NEW ZEALAND

He came from up over
Down to down under
Bringing the revolution
The revolution of fun
He is old with a beard
Well what did you expect?
He nearly shaved it off once
With not some little regret
He was a hit on campus
He would do almost anything
Regardless of any consequence
Or the trouble it would bring
There was the thing with the bath
Well what was up with that?
To jump from any great height
He would have ended up flat

Wiz, wiz, wiz, wiz, wiz
The Wizard of New Zealand

So down to New Zealand
On a special passport
To take up permanent residence
And provide some food for thought
He stood up in front of the church
With God on his telephone
A striking Christ-like resemblance
Inside they could only groan
Then there was that silly blue

Over the phone boxes
Though red may encourage violence
It is just not the same
You need an army of followers
To stay ahead in this game
It has really amazed me
That he does not rule the earth

Well he is a miracle
A miracle in a pointed hat
He is a miracle
So what do you think of that?
All over the world
All over the world I say
There are a great many wizards
To keep the world at bay
I read all about this man
In his nifty little book
There’re a great many pictures you see
I really advise you to take a look
So now we are drawing to an end
Of the greatest story ever penned
I advise you all to find out more
Not doing so would be a bore
He is the birdman
The rain dancer wiz
He is the showman
His spells are so wiz
He is a no man
A living work of art
With a beard like a nest
He’ll put the world to the test
