With vocals
Backing track
GOOD FAIRY I’M LOST WITHOUT MY MAGIC,
I SIMPLY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
I SIMPLY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
WITHOUT THE POWER WITHIN ME
THERE’S NOTHING I CAN SAY OR DO
TO MAKE YOUR SMALLEST WISH COME TRUE.
I JUST WANT TO PUT THINGS RIGHT
AND FIX WHAT’S GOING WRONG,
TO HEAL WHERE THERE IS SICKNESS
AND TURN SADNESS INTO SONG.
ALL I WANT TO DO
IS MAKE YOUR WISH COME TRUE AND
(a group of dancers could enter here)
Group 1 SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC
Group 2 JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC
Both groups JUST A TINY SPARK.
Group 1 SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC
Group 2 JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC
Both groups MAKE A LITTLE WISH TO LIGHTEN UP THE DARK.
ALL IT ONLY TAKES A DROPLET
OF MAGIC IN A DREARY DAY
TO SEND YOUR WEARINESS AWAY.
IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT
TO WAVE A MAGIC WAND AROUND
AND THEN YOUR FROWN HANGS UPSIDE DOWN!
SHE JUST WANTS TO PUT THINGS RIGHT
AND FIX WHAT’S GOING WRONG,
TO HEAL WHERE THERE IS SICKNESS
AND TURN SADNESS INTO SONG.
ALL SHE WANTS TO DO
IS MAKE YOUR WISH COME TRUE AND…
Group 1 SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC
Group 2 JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC
Both groups JUST A TINY SPARK.
Group 1 SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC
Group 2 JUST SPREAD A LITTLE MAGIC
Both groups MAKE A LITTLE WISH TO LIGHTEN UP THE DARK.

Step into light, You’ll be all right.

With troubles that you can’t undo.

To show they care,
To see what you’re going through,
And you can’t see a way – Don’t know what to say
Or do.
Good Fairy: Feeling small,
You’ve blown it all,
And everything you’ve done seems wrong.
Hold my hand,
I’ll help you stand, Together we’ll get along, ‘Cos together we’re strong.

Well, you’d like yourself more.

Yes! And you’d have lots of friends.
(Cymbal crash cue) Friends?
(sadly) I’ve never had friends, only slaves.
(Cymbal crash cue) You’d like having friends.
Would they be nice to me?

(Cymbal crash cue) If you wanted to be good, I would be your friend.
Really?
(Cymbal crash cue) (offering her hand) Won’t you come? Please?
