The Whammy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I met a big woman
With eyes of fury
And the voice
Is hard as stone
Said she'd get me
Couldn't live without me
Said she'd use her mojo bone
Wuaaaaaaaargh
She put the whammy
Whow, yes, yeaaaaaah
She put the whammy
Wuaaaaaaaargh
She put the whammy
On poor poor me
Whow, wow,
I'm walking sideways
Oh, oh, my mind
My mind's in neutral [?]
Ooouh, she put the evil eyeball
Dead on me, aah
I bought a shotgun
A great, big, long shotgun
I put the bell upside her head
I said 'release me
Hey there, woman, release me
Or I'll blow the moonlight
Clean through your bald head
Wuaaaaaaaargh
Whoaaargh
She put the whammy
Oh, the whammy
Yeaaheah, yeeeaheah
She put the whammy
On poor poor me
Wuaaargh, wuaaargh
I'm walking sideways,
Ooh, my mind's in neutral [?]
Aaaargh,
She put the evil eyeball
Dead on me, wuaargh
Moooan…
Moooan…
Moooan…
Moooan…
