Amazing James
(Tune: “Amazing Grace”)
Amazing James, at last he came
to inspire a wretch like me;
I once was cool, but now I flame
thanks to (Amazing) James Randi!
‘Twas James who bent a tablespoon,
mel-ting the heart o-f Kim Hill.
He could change a watch from nine to noon
and teach us all his skill.
He tuned us in, to a healer droll
who knew more than he should know,
and the healer’s wife, “the voice of Knowl-
-edge” on his little radio.
He showed us how the psychics work
quackery in the Phillippines;
sticking in his fingers, out he’d jerk
chickens’ guts and blood in streams.
Amazing James is in no way slack
to advance the sceptical art,
yet admires the Morning Glory’s knack
of opening at sparrow fart.
Amazing James, at last he came
to inspire a wretch like me
I once was cool, but now I flame
thanks to (Amazing) James Randi!
