Verse 1
Each escape involved some art
A magic man had done his part
thousands of them he could outsmart
the show is about to start

For no chain could hold him back
the doubters said he was a hack
The stage is set for his comeback
Houdini is about to start


The great Houdini they shouted his name
for his final act a great escape
Gallons of water in a steel stained cage
One last breath and he went away

Open it up the crowd exclaimed
As what they saw could not be explained
The great magician has done it again
HOUDINI! remember the name
