Gris-Gris Gumbo Ya Ya

They call me Dr. John

Known as the Night Tripper

Got my sizzlin' gris-gris in my hand

Day trippin' up

I'm back down the Bayou

I'm the last of the best

They call me the Gris-Gris man

Got many clients

Come from miles around

Running down my prescription

I got medicine

To cure all y'all's ills

I got remedies of every description

If you got love trouble, you got a bad woman you can't control

I got just the thing for you

Something called, "Control-In-The-Hearts-Of-Get-Together Drops"

If you work too hard and you need a little rest

Try my utilize rub or put some of my boss fix jam

In your breakfast

Try a little bit

Some warm water if you're neighbors give you trouble

Put your business in the street

Sell a juke in my whole car, it just won't be beat

Try my dragon's blood, my drawn powder

And my secret sand

And have a little black cat oil if your woman got another man

Some Goofer Dust or Eagle Eye Pie on a Boss Fix Pie

And those'll be eating out of the palm of your hand

Hey now gumbo ya ya

Sell a shoe string and a whole lot a sand

Put on your woman's feet and see if she don't love that

Running back here for more

No, no, no, no
