Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna give you forty days to get back home
I'm gonna call up a gypsy woman on the telephone
I'm gonna send out a worldwide hoodoo there
It'll be the very thing that suits you
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
[Verse 2]
Hoo, forty days
Hoo, forty days
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
I'm gonna send out a worldwide hoodoo there
It'll be the very thing that suits you
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna talk to the judge in private early this morning
He nearly took me to the sheriff's office to sign a warning
They gonna throw a fraud charge against you
That'll be the very thing that'll send you
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
[Verse 4]
Ooh, forty days
Ooh, forty days
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
I'm gonna send out a worldwide hoodoo there
It'll be the very thing that suits you
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
[Verse 5]
Oh, forty days
Ooh, forty days
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
I'm gonna throw a fraud charge against you
That'll be the very thing that'll send you
I'm gonna see that she'll be back home in forty days
