Potion Notion
[VIOLET]
A little bit of this
A bit of something else
A secret little potion
I'll conjure up myself

I'm not a vicious person
I just don't want him here
So I'll make a magic mixture
And make him disappear

Li-li-li-li
Li-li-dee-dee
Got a notion for a potion
Just leave it to me

In the Magic Kingdom
We respect each other's rights

[WOODLAND CARTOON ANIMALS]
That's right!

[VIOLET]
We're not allowed to steal
The magic from another's life
[WOODLAND CARTOON ANIMALS]
That's not right!

[VIOLET, WOMEN & MEN]
I'm hoping that this potion
Just might neutralize Lah-hah-hah-hize
All the bad and evil things
He seems to hold inside

[HART, shouting]
Violet! Coffee!

[VIOLET, ENSEMBLE]
It mixes well with many things
Coffee is the best!
So I'll mix him up a little batch Mix him up
And bring it to his desk And bring it, aw!

Come on!
Let off a little steam
It's good to clear the head Clear head!
It really does work wonders
It's magic, like I said!
Ahh! Ha, ha, ha!

[HART, spoken]
I think you put something in here...
[VIOLET]
Ah, ha, ah, ah, ah, ha, ha!

[HART, spoken]
I think you poisoned my coffee...

[VIOLET/ENSEMBLE]
Ah, ha, ah, ah, ah, ha, ha!
Ah, ah, ah, ah! Ha, ha, ha, ha!

[HART, spoken]
Is it because I'm a sexist-

[VIOLET, spoken]
Egotistical!

[HART, spoken]
Lying-

[VIOLET, spoken]
Hypocritical!

[HART, spoken]
Bigot?

[VIOLET]
Uh-huh!
Time for you to fly!
Ah, ha, ha, ha!
[HART, spoken]
No!
