last 4 lines of refrain inst. as intro.
Hey, girl, are you weeping 'Cause it's too rainy for playing outside? Let's turn on the magic carpet And go for an afternoon ride... I know a couple of games to play And some places you haven't yet seen; Come visit your daddy's world on the other side of the screen.
I can't bring you the silver moon
To hold in the palm of your hand;
But I can take you to a world I've made
Out of dreams and a few grains of sand;
I can't buy you the stars to wear
Like gems in your bonny brown hair;
All I have is a magic mirror
And castles in the air.
Say hello to the creatures here: The walrus, the elephant too; Go visit the dragon's lair, He's waiting there for you... Play cards with a magical deck; Learn the names of the planets and stars; Take a ride on a toy balloon, Or a rocket ship to Mars.
Come look through the window While I type in a magical rhyme. I'll show you where the hypercubes dance On the edges of space and time. See the curliqued Mandelbrot set Way down in the complex plane... We'll forget about the world outside, The thunder and the rain.
Do you wonder where your daddy goes When he's out of the house for the day? I walk through my magic mirror And travel far away To my world where with numbers and words I create things out of thin air; There's magic in Daddy's world And I can take you there.
Last refrain repeat last 2 lines;
end with \chord{A^*=EAEAC\sharp A}
The imagery in v. 2 comes mostly from Manhole, a HyperCard game for kids on the Macintosh. I thought about calling this song ``The Programmer's Daughter'' but decided I'd leave that for Kanefsky.
