Witchcraft

Artist: Elvis Presley

Album: Today, Tomorrow and Forever

Song Length: 2:21

George's Thoughts: Although it's too slow for competition, this does make an enjoyable Quickstep. It's always nice when an Elvis number comes on because dancers find it delightful to dance to the music of the king. This is the only version of this song paced at a speed other than Slow Foxtrot, and it works well.

Song Lyrics:

Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft

And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do

'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo

When you arouse the need in my
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'Cause there's no nicer witch than you
