Eglantine, Don't Let Me Down (Reprise: Eglantine) - From "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"/Soundtrack Version

Let us strike a bargain
 You possess a gift
 But I can speak the jargon
 That will give your gift the needed lift
 You possess the know-how
 And I command the show-how
 Oh, how successful you could be—
 With me!
 Eglantine, Eglantine
 Oh, how you'll shine
 Your lot and my lot
 Have got to combine
 Eglantine, Eglantine
 Hark to the stars
 Destiny calls us
 The future is ours
 As the shine sells the boot
 And the blossoms—the fruit
 All you need to succeed in your plan
 Is the proper ally
 Upon whom to rely
 And I'm your man
 For I have an acumen
 That's nigh superhuman
 I sell things that nobody can
 So I humbly suggest
 You accept my behest
 I'm your man
 Eglantine, Eglantine
 Oh, how you'll shine
 Your lot and my lot
 Have got to combine
 Eglantine, Eglantine
 Hark to the stars
 Destiny calls us
 The future is ours
 With my expert pantomiming
 The proper taste and timing
 I'll introduce you in the manner grand
 I'll whet their appetite for you
 I'll set the scene so right for you
 We'll have the beggars eating out of your hand
 As the words sell the tune
 And the moonbeams—the moon
 All you need to succeed in your plan
 Is a champion rare
 With a flourish and a flair
 And I'm your man
 ♪
 I have always had a bit of a knack for witchcraft
 Common spells and simple charms came naturally
 So when the war began
 I conjured up a plan
 To do my bit in the national emergency
 I enrolled in your Correspondence College of Witchcraft
 And I slaved at every lesson as it came
 But the spell I counted on
 Is the lesson that is gone
 It's disappeared
 And you're the one to blame!
 Your suggestions are rash
 And your manner is brash
 And I've no time to waste, Mr. Brown
 If I am to proceed
 It's that book that I need
 Don't let me down
 But if you'll see me through
 I'll discuss it with you
 Though I've no taste for playing the clown
 If I meet with success
 Then I might acquiesce—
 I won't let you down!
 Eglantine, Eglantine
 Oh, how you'll shine
 Your lot and my lot
 Have got to combine
 Eglantine, Eglantine
 Hark to the stars
 Destiny calls us
 The future is ours!
