[Intro]


[Verse 1]

Well, I stand up next to a mountain

And I chop it down with the edge of my hand

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


[Chorus]

Because I'm a voodoo child

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby


[Guitar solo]


[Verse 2]

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, hahaha

I said I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time

I'll give it right back one of these days, oh yeah

If I don't meet you no more in this world

I'll meet you in the next one, and don't be late

Don't be late


[Chorus]

Because I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby


[Outro]

I'm a voodoo child, baby

I don't take no for an answer

Question no

Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
