Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
[Verse 2]
I want to say one 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
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 then uh
I'll meet ya on the next one
And don't be late
Don't be late
[Chorus]
'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
