Magic Pencil
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
The Uncle Brothers
I've got a magic pencil, it takes all of my dreams
and puts them on the paper, at least that's how it seems
Whatever I think whatever I imagine ends up in a story
My magic pencil long and sharp, I'll always keep it near my heart
It's something I will always hold until I'm a million years old
Now I'm using my magic pencil to make a magic list
of people I want to write to, people I really miss
I feel so good when I receive a letter I thought I would write one first
With my magic pencil long and sharp, I'll always keep it near my heart
I'll keep so many of my friends from the letters, that I send
Now I've got a lot of homework, but I don't have a lot of time
I should have done it sooner, but I couldn't wake up my mind
I've got three pages of math do do and I know how I'll get it done
With my magic pencil long and sharp, I'll always keep it near my heart
I'll ace it like I always do, but next time I'll do it after school
Now I'm using my magic pencil to say sorry to my dad
I left my room too messy and it really made him mad
Now I'll write down words and I'll draw him a picture to say how sorry I am
With my magic pencil long and sharp, I'll always keep it near my heart
When he reads my note a smile will light and I'll know everything will be all right
Now I lost my magic pencil, it wore completely down
from turning in the sharpener now it's shavings on the ground
What'll I do now what'll I write with now that my friend is gone...
So I took another pencil long and new, checked to make sure it was a number two
slowly cranked the tip so sharp, now I'll always keep it near my heart
I've got a brand new magic pencil now to write everything I'm feeling down
