Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Yeah
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand
Yeah
'Cause Im a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child baby
I want to say one more last thing
I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to ya one of these days
Ha, ha, ha
I said I didnt mean to take up all your sweet time
Ill give it right back one of these days
Oh, yeah
If I dont meet you no more in this world then uh
I'll meet ya on the next one
And dont be late
Dont be late
'Cause I'm a voodoo child voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child
Hey, hey, hey
I'm a voodoo child baby
I don't take no for an answer
Question, no
Yeah
