Lyrics

CHORUS
Harry Houdini the escapologist
He could escape from almost anything and
As he escaped, crowds watched and gaped and wondered
How did he do it, nobody knew it

Suspended in a straight jacket above a busy city street
Chains around his ankles hanging upside down
He freed himself in minutes with skeleton keys and lock picks
Crowds below him stood where they could see
People were amazed and shook their heads in wonder

CHORUS

In the year of 1910 at the height of his fame
Houdini came to Melbourne, for the one and only time
And on February 17, as he was locked up in chains
A crowd of 20,000 people watched him
Jump from the Queens Bridge in to the Yarra river

CHORUS

People watched in wonder at all the things they saw
Unlike any magician they’d ever seen before
And whether tied in ropes, straight jacket or chained
Houdini could just never, ever be restrained

CHORUS
Harry Houdini the escapologist
He could escape from almost anything and
As he escaped, crowds watched and gaped and wondered
How did he do it, nobody knew it
Harry Houdini the escapologist
