The Magic Key is a deleted song from The Sword in the Stone. The Sherman Brothers sing this song while the playing piano in 2000.

Lyrics
Merlin: With a hey-dum-deede and a deede-dum-dee,

Fill you noggin full of knowledge and then you'll see.

What a glorious experience your life will be

A noggin full of knowledge is the magic key.

Arthur: Magic key? Magic key to what?

Merlin: The key to the doors to the future and past

Of both be yours to explore at last.

The greatest adventure of more you'll see

A noggin full of knowledge is the magic key.

Archimedes: Magic key, dery-dum-dee. Magic key, dery-dum-dee.

Merlin: With a noggin full of knowledge, you're bound to find

The thrill of the ability to use your mind.

Mathematics and philosophy and history

Are very necessary for the magic key.

Arthur: But I can't read!

Merlin: With a hey-dum-deede and a deede-dum-dee,

You got to learn the alphabet from A to Z.

Letters make words and words you'll see

Are very necessary for the magic key.

Archimedes: A to Z, dery-dum-dee. A to Z, magic key.

Merlin: If you read your history, read it well

You can see why empires rose and fell.

And if you learn the lessons of your history,

Yes, you're a processor of the magic key.
