Step inside my tent,
she said,
I'd like to read you a poem
Leave a dollar in the jar,
this won't take very long
Leave the fairground noise behind,
close your eyes,
relax your mind
I'll tell you if you should quit now,
or if you should go
Then I said, now what do you see?
She said, beedle-dee-***, beedle-dee-dee
Where will I go?
What will I be?
Beedle-dee-***, beedle-dee-dee
She threw some sawdust in the air,
her hands began to shake
She told me the town where I was born,
she almost knew the day
She lit a candle with her eyes,
and then she made the table rise
She took the dollar from the jar,
and then she guessed my weight
Then I said, now what do you see?
She said, beedle-dee-***, beedle-dee-dee
You're so old,
you're so wise,
beedle-dee-***,
beedle-dee-die
Give me a sign,
tell it to me,
beedle-dee-***,
beedle-dee-dee
Then she said most quietly,
a beedle-dee-***,
beedle-dee-dee
When you were a child at school,
they taught you quite a lot
You were told when you should speak,
and when you should not
You were taught to read and write,
to take your lessons home at night
A little knowledge serves you well,
but the boring rule does not
Then I said, now what do you see?
She said, beedle-dee-***, beedle-dee-dee
Where will I go, what will I be?
Beedle-dee-***, beedle-dee-dee
Then when I came home that night to lie awake in bed
I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had said
And now I say, who to respect?
The more we learn, the worse we get
So if you feel you've no regrets,
go have your fortune read
Then I said, now what do you see?
She said, beedle-dee-***, beedle-dee-dee
You're so old,
you're so wise,
beedle-dee-***,
beedle-dee-die
Give me a sign,
tell it to me,
beedle-dee-***,
beedle-dee-dee
Where will I go, what will I be?
Beedle-dee-***, beedle-dee-dee
Give me a sign,
tell it to me,
beedle-dee-***,
beedle-dee-dee
Where will I go, what will I be?
Beedle-dee-***,
beedle-dee-dee
Give me a sign, tell it to me,
beedle-dee-***, beedle-dee-dee
