Hoodoo Voodoo

I’m just a low pay paddy

Singing high price blues

My mama told me, my daddy too

That the devil makes work

For idle hands to do

Just trying to ease my revolutionnary mind

Just trying to ease my revolutionnary soul

Cuz i’m on a roll

Let the teachers teach

Let the preachers preach

I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo

Let the chancers chance

Let the dancers dance

I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo

I gotta shake that hoodoo voodoo

Every once in awhile you gotta crash and burn

Down an empty street, ghetto or demolition zone

Some come to town just to see the sights

Some hit the city just to drink and fight

Just trying to ease my revolutionnary mind

Just trying to ease my revolutionnary soul

Cuz i’m on a roll

Let the teachers teach

Let the preachers preach

I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo

Let the chancers chance

Let the dancers dance

I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo

I gotta shake that hoodoo voodoo

When I’m lying alone on this moon-drenched bed

With all possibilities of you in my head

It’s an emotional investment I can’t afford

I know, I know, I know

She’s all 6’s and 7’s and rollin’ 9’s

She don’t go digging for coal

When there’s diamonds in the mine

I called the preacher, I went to churh

He said son you’re gonna get your just desserts

Just trying to ease my revolutionnary mind

Just trying to ease my revolutionnary soul

Cuz i’m on a roll

Let the teachers teach

Let the preachers preach

I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo

Let the chancers chance

Let the dancers dance

I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo

I gotta shake that hoodoo voodoo
