Oh my name is JOHN WELLINGTON WELLSA
I'm a dealer in magic and spellsA
In blessings and cursesB
And ever filled pursesB
In prophecies witches and knellsB
If you want a proud foe to make tracksB
If you'd melt a rich uncle in waxB
You've but to look inC
On our resident DjinnC
Number seventy Simmery AxeB
-
We've a first class assortment of magicD
And for raising a posthumous shadeE
With effects that are comic or tragicD
There's no cheaper house in the tradeE
Love philtre we've quantities of itF
And for knowledge if any one burnsB
We keep an extremely small prophet a prophetG
Who brings us unbounded returnsB
For he can prophesyB
With a wink OF his eyeH
Peep with securityI
Into futurityI
Sum up your historyI
Clear up a mysteryI
Humour proclivityI
For a nativityI
With mirrors so magicalJ
Tetrapods tragicalJ
Bogies spectacularK
Answers oracularK
Facts astronomicalJ
Solemn or comicalJ
And if you want it heI
Makes a reduction on taking a quantityI
OhL
If any one anything lacksB
He'll find it all ready in stacksB
If he'll only look inC
On the resident DjinnC
Number seventy Simmery AxeB
-
He can raise you hostsB
Of ghostsB
And that without reflectorsB
And creepy thingsB
With wingsB
And gaunt and grisly spectresB
He can fill you crowdsB
Of shroudsB
And horrify you vastlyI
He can rack your brainsB
With chainsB
And gibberings grim and ghastlyI
Then if you plan it heI
Changes organityI
With an urbanityI
Full of SatanityI
Vexes humanityI
With an inanityI
Fatal to vanityI
Driving your foes to the verge of insanityI
Barring tautologyM
In demonologyM
'Lectro biologyM
Mystic nosologyM
Spirit philologyM
High class astrologyM
Such is his knowledge heM
Isn't the man to require an apologyM
OhL
My name is JOHN WELLINGTON WELLSB
I'm a dealer in magic and spellsB
In blessings and cursesB
And ever filled pursesB
In prophecies witches and knellsB
If any one anything lacksB
He'll find it all ready in stacksB
If he'll only look inC
On the resident DjinnC
Number seventy Simmery AxeB
