Lyrics
Said my prayers to the old black Gods
Tied a string around some chicken bones
I set 'em on fire and I crossed my heart
I tuned up the Kay and the Silvertone
I rubbed my hands across the Tolex scars
Took the laces out of my tennis shoes
And I can't live with a 60-cycle hum
Has anybody here got a 50 watt fuse?
I laid down a groove like a monkey gettin' off
I was stompin' on the kick, poundin' on the tom
If you ever get to heaven say "Woo, thank you"
If you ever get scared say the 23rd psalm
Got a Coricidin bottle that I use as slide
And a woman sweet as a tootsie roll
When she kissin' and lickin' and cussin' and grindin'
Shakes her mortal coil round my amaranthine soul
Woo
Woo
Oh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
