Julia Louis-Dreyfus Lyrics
"Just Because It's Magic"

Blue Fairy: Everybody nowadays is looking for a quick fix.
Everybody moans and prays for a magic trick fix.
Cast your spell, wave your wand, make my wish come true.
But they seldom look beyond, to then what will they do.
They don't have a clue.
Like you, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo!

Just because it's magic,
Doesn't mean it's easy.
Just because it's magic,
Doesn't mean your life is solved.

When you get the thing for which you've yearned,
Then you find your yearning has returned.
Happy is the man who's finally learned,
Happy endings must be earned!

Just because it's magic,
Doesn't mean contentment.
Even with enchantment,
There are bound to be some flaws!

Why can't it be perfect, now you sigh?
Honey, I'll be glad to tell you why:
It takes more than magic. Why? Just because!

(Musical Interlude)

Blue Fairy: Just because it's magic,

Geppetto: Oh beautiful fairy,

Blue Fairy: Doesn't mean it's easy.

Geppetto: With the lovliest pair of...wings!

Blue Fairy: Just because it's magic,

Geppetto: Please grant me this favor!

Blue Fairy: Doesn't mean your life is solved!

Geppetto: Just a couple of tiny things!
Don't take this as ingratitude,
But you really have an attitude!
And Pinocchio is proof...
,You can goof!

Blue Fairy: Just because it's magic,

Geppetto: So beautiful fairy,

Blue Fairy: Doesn't mean contentment.

Geppetto: It's time for the remedy!

Blue Fairy: Even with enchantment,

Geppetto: Simply compel him to do as I tell him,

Blue Fairy: There are bound to be some flaws!

Geppetto: I want him to grow up like me!

Blue Fairy: Why can't it be perfect, now you sigh?

Geppetto: Stop glistening!

Blue Fairy: Darling, I'll be glad to tell you why:

Geppetto: Start listening!

Blue Fairy: It takes more than magic. Why? Just because.

Geppetto: You're a very arbitrary fairy!

Blue Fairy: You need more than magic.
Just because.
Just because.
Just because!
