Randy Newman - Friends on the Other Side lyrics

Don't you disrespect me little man! Don't you derogate or deride You're in my world now, not your world And I got friends on the other side (He's got friends on the other side...) Spoken: That's an echo, gentlemen. Just a little something we have here in Louisiana, a little parlor trick. Don't worry... Sit down at my table Put your minds at ease If you relax it will enable me to do anything I please I can read your future I can change it 'round some, too I'll look deep into your heart and soul Spoken: You do have a soul, don't you, Lawrence? Make your wildest dreams come true I got voodoo, I got hoodoo I got things I ain't even tried! And I got friends on the other side (He's got friends on the other side...) The cards, the cards, the cards will tell The past, the present, and the future, as well The cards, the cards, just take three Take a little trip into your future with me Now you, young man, are from across the sea You come from two long lines of royalty Spoken: I'm a royal myself, on my mother's side... Your lifestyle's high, but your funds are low You need to marry a little honey whose daddy got dough Spoken: Mommy and daddy cut you off, huh, playboy? Now y'all gotta get hitched, but hitchin' ties you down. You just wanna be free, hop from place to place. But freedom...takes green! It's the green, it's the green, it's the green you need And when I looked into your future It's the green that I see! On you little man, I don't want to waste much time You been pushed around all your life You been pushed around by your mother and your sister and your brother And if you was married... You'd be pushed 'round by your wife But in your future, the you I see Is exactly the man you always wanted to be Spoken: Shake my hand. Come on boys, won't you shake a poor sinner's hand? Yes... Are you ready? (Are you ready?) Are you ready? Transformation central! (Transformation central!) Reformation central! (Reformation central!) Transmogrification central! Can you feel it? You're changin', you're changin' You're changin', all right! I hope you're satisfied But if you ain't, don't blame me! You can blame my friends on the other side... You got what you wanted! But you lost what you had! Ha ha ha ha... Hush...
