I always use the Barney version:

Please and Thank You

There are lots of things

We can do to be nice,

Sometimes they're hard to remember.

But there are two little things

You should never forget,

From January through December.

He's talking 'bout please and thank you,

They're called the magic words,

If you want nice things to happen,

They're the words that should be heard,

Remember please and thank you,

'Cause they're the magic words.

Use 'em in the morning, at noon, and night,

'Cause it's a great way to be polite!

Please and thank you,

They're the magic words.

We're talking 'bout please and thank you,

Is it this?

HEARTS, like doors, will open with ease

To very, very little keys,

And don’t forget that two of these

Are I thank you and If you please.

Come when you’re called,

Do what you’re bid,

Close the door after you,

Never be chid.

Seldom can’t,

Seldom don’t;

Never shan’t,

Never won’t.

or this?

Hearts, like doors, open with ease

To very, very tiny keys;

And don’t forget that two of these

Are, “I thank you,” and, “If you please.”

If I have a piece of cake,

And I with children play,

I must not eat it all myself,

But give a part away.

In silence I must take my seat,

And give God thanks for what I eat;

I must not fret about my food,

Nor frown if I don’t think it good.

Must turn my head to cough or sneeze,

And when I’m asked, say, “If you please.”

Politeness is to do and say

Th e kindest things in the kindest way.

Usually, it is only the word, "please" that people refer to as being a "magic" word.  But this is a mistake.  If you teach a kid that the word "please" is "magic" then they will take it for granted that simply saying the word will get them what they want.  Wrong.  My children are taught to use manners regardless of what it "gets" them.  They are expected to use "please" even if the answer to their query is no.
