Lyrics[]

Merlin: Higitus figitus zumbakazing.
I want your attention, everything.
We're packing to leave. Come on, let's go.
No, no, not you; books are always first, you know.

Hockety pockety wockety wack
Abra cabra dabra nack
Shrink in size very small
We've got to save enough room for all
Higitus figitus migitus mum
Prestidigitonium

Alakafez, balakazez
Malakamez meripides
Hockety pockety wockety... What?!

Now stop, stop, stop, stop.
See here, sugar bowl! You're getting rough!
That poor old tea set is cracked enough.

(Repeat of the first part)

Let's start again.
Ah... let's start again... Oh, where was I boy?
Wart: Uh, hockety pockety?

Merlin: Oh yes, yes, that's right...

I'll be with you in just a minute, son
Packing's almost done!

Archimedes: You... you... bungling blockhead!
