New Orleans Voo Doo

Magical gris-gris and mojo bag

Ason rattle, Tongue of DanIn he Badji a sacred alter room

So begins the ritual of the dead man's tomb

Superstition where it's been said

Rituals to wake the dead, wake the dead[Chorus:]

New Orleans Voo Doo

New Orleans Voo DooGiyon is said to mean bad luck

Sound of the ogan, the bell is struck

Rituals to wake the dead, wake the deadOn the cord drum. tanbou fey

The Voo Doo priest begins to play

The kwa-kwa rattle keeps in beat

The Nago dance in the summer heat

Superstition where it's been said

Rituals to wake the dead, wake the dead[Chorus] (x3)
