A voodoo priest and his mambo who*e
Rollin' and a-reelin' and a-poundin' on the door
Beatin' on the tomb with the end of a broom,
Wakin' the dead with a boom, boom, boom
It was a hoodoo rock a voodoo d**h rattle
A zombie dance a voodoo d**h rattle
A hoodoo shake a voodoo d**h rattle
A boneyard stomp a voodoo d**h rattle
The walkin dead sighed a thousand sighs
Accompanied by ten thousand flies
The pounding drums of the dead men's song
And a thigh-bone beating on a rusted gong.
It was a hoodoo rock a voodoo d**h rattle
A zombie dance a voodoo d**h rattle
A hoodoo shake a voodoo d**h rattle
A boneyard stomp a voodoo d**h rattle
"BLOOD" screamed the warriors, strong and tall
"BLOOD" screamed the skull-faced shamen all
Can you hear it now it's the voodoo d**h rattle?
Its' the hordes of hell marchin to battle
Do you hear them demons laugh and yell.
They're rockin and rollin down in Hell.
Better watch yourself, watch what you do,
Or that old d**h rattle's gonna voodoo you
It was a hoodoo rock a voodoo d**h rattle
A zombie dance a voodoo d**h rattle
A hoodoo shake a voodoo d**h rattle
A boneyard stomp a voodoo d**h rattle
The voodoo idol reached up high
He shook his fists and split the sky
And from the clouds in robes of flame.
A hundred skull-faced witch-men came
With painted faces whirling round
Their fire dance made a thunderin sound.
I was crucified with coffin nails
There where the Voodoo Ghost-Gods wail
