"Just Because It's Magic" from the soundtrack of Disney's musical "Geppetto". Composed bt Stephen Schwartz and performed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Drew Carey.
This song sounds light and silly (making it fun) but the lyrics are so true. We are about never satisfied. Even if there was magic that granted our wishes, we would eventually complain about something. So it takes more than magic!
That chord at 1:13 REALLY gets me. You know when you hear a lovely chord? and it's just nice :) and you can really here that nice accordion on that part 2.
Blue Fairy: Everybody nowadays is looking for a quick fix. Everybody moans and prays for a magic trick fix. Cast your spell, wave your wand, make my wish come true. But they seldom look beyond, to then what will they do. They don't have a clue. Like you, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo! Just because it's magic, Doesn't mean it's easy. Just because it's magic, Doesn't mean your life is solved. When you get the thing for which you've yearned, Then you find your yearning has returned. Happy is the man who's finally learned, Happy endings must be earned! Just because it's magic, Doesn't mean contentment. Even with enchantment, There are bound to be some flaws! Why can't it be perfect, now you sigh? Honey, I'll be glad to tell you why: It takes more than magic. Why? Just because! (Musical Interlude) Blue Fairy: Just because it's magic Geppetto: Oh beautiful fairy, Blue Fairy: Doesn't mean it's easy. Geppetto: With the lovliest pair of...wings! Blue Fairy: Just because it's magic, Geppetto: Please grant me this favor! Blue Fairy: Doesn't mean your life is solved! Geppetto: Just a couple of tiny things! Don't take this as ingratitude, But you really have an attitude! And Pinocchio is proof... ,You can goof! Blue Fairy: Just because it's magic, Geppetto: So beautiful fairy, Blue Fairy: Doesn't mean contentment. Geppetto: It's time for the remedy! Blue Fairy: Even with enchantment, Geppetto: Simply compel him to do as I tell him, Blue Fairy: There are bound to be some flaws! Geppetto: I want him to grow up like me! Blue Fairy: Why can't it be perfect, now you sigh? Geppetto: Stop glistening! Blue Fairy: Darling, I'll be glad to tell you why: Geppetto: Start listening! Blue Fairy: It takes more than magic. Why? Just because. Geppetto: You're a very arbitrary fairy! Blue Fairy: You need more than magic. Just because. Just because. Just because!
I know a lot of people have found out by now that the original Pinocchio novel was very different, and darker from the classic animated Disney movie, and actually prefer the darker tone of the book, but I honestly still like the cartoon better because it was so memorable and fun. They did a fantastic job on this musical live-action remake of it. I think it would be really nice, actually if Disney made an animated sequel to the original, like they did with Peter Pan-Return To Neverland, and The Jungle Book 2, but put it out straight to video, instead. The plot would be where Pinocchio is older, and is now a real boy, but Stromboli comes back to get revenge on Pinocchio, when Geppetto makes him a wood carved little brother. Stromboli kidnaps his brother, and hopes to make another fortune off his shows, and Pinocchio must head out to rescue him, plus the story is a little more similar to this version of the original. That would be pretty cool.
Or I rather had Pinocchio still an only-child without siblings just focus on his life as a real boy celebrating his first birthday his birthday wish is to have a mother someday that makes geppetto having a wife into his family then stromboli kidnaps Pinocchio while jiminy cricket and geppetto has to find him along the way geppetto befriended a good-hearted sweet middle-age woman named Leona who he fell in love with later on helping him to rescue his son from stromboli. And the blue fairy is still not Pinocchio's mother because she and geppetto aren't married to each other anyway she's only Pinocchio's fairy godmother just life Cinderella's fairy godmother obviously also she and geppetto are just friends, only to say this to get the idea in case because some people in different videos comments didn't get my comment thing so yeah here's the reason of it.

Blue Fairy: Everybody nowadays is looking for a quick fix.
Everybody moans and prays for a magic trick fix.
Cast your spell, wave your wand, make my wish come true.
But they seldom look beyond, to then what will they do.
They don't have a clue.
Like you, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo!
Just because it's magic,
Doesn't mean it's easy.
Just because it's magic,
Doesn't mean your life is solved.
When you get the thing for which you've yearned,
Then you find your yearning has returned.
Happy is the man who's finally learned,
Happy endings must be earned!
Just because it's magic,
Doesn't mean contentment.
Even with enchantment,
There are bound to be some flaws!
Why can't it be perfect, now you sigh?
Honey, I'll be glad to tell you why:
It takes more than magic. Why? Just because!
(Musical Interlude)
Blue Fairy: Just because it's magic

Geppetto: Please grant me this favor!
Blue Fairy: Doesn't mean your life is solved!
Geppetto: Just a couple of tiny things!
Don't take this as ingratitude,
But you really have an attitude!
And Pinocchio is proof...
,You can goof!
Blue Fairy: Just because it's magic,
Geppetto: So beautiful fairy,
Blue Fairy: Doesn't mean contentment.
Geppetto: It's time for the remedy!

Drew Carey sing pretty good on Geppetto like Johnny Depp did on Sweeny Todd, but hey, i think Drew Carey could be in another Musical film
@ztslovebird Stephen Schwartz is a genious, and I totaly agree!
wish you could buy the sheet music for this :(
Hey guys. Whose line is it anyway? I mean. come on.
I love this song but really, they couldn't have given a better reason than "just because"?
Just because is another way of saying "that's life"
Anyone noticed it sounds like popular from wicked?
It's the same composer and lyricist as Wicked.
Where did you find the soundtrack? I looked on iTunes, but it isn't available there yet :(
