[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

Lie, lie, la-lie
Lie, lie, di-dee

Got a notion for a potion
Just leave it to me!

In the Magic Kingdom
We respect each other's rights

[ENSEMBLE]
That's right!

[VIOLET]
We're not allowed to steal
The magic from another's life

[ENSEMBLE]
That's not right!

[VIOLET]
I'm hoping that this potion
Just might neutralize
All the bad and evil things
He seems to hold inside

[HART, shouting]
Violet! Coffee!

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

Come on!
Let off a little steam
It's good to clear the 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!

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
