lyrics

Deja Voodoo
Copyright 2010 Adam Rudegeair

When I was born I was hot and steamin’
These days I find I’m cold and dreamin’
Waitin’ till night, of spirits I wonder,
You got time to think when you’re six feet under…

Way Down in the Bayou deep,
The conjure man say he might help me sleep.
I thought he’d help me take a nap,
But he gave me death and a lagniappe!

CHORUS:
Day after Day
In my grave I slumber…
Night after Night
I rise from six feet under…
Deja Voodoo
I been down this road before
Deja Voodoo
Gris Gris keeps me comin’ back for more.

I wanna go home, put on a little chankachank,
Can’t even stop for a coal drank.
My ass say that banquette sho’ look good,
Lessay lay bon ton roolay – Don’t I wish I could!

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Every Hour’s the witchin’ Hour
Jus’ me and loup garoo
Every season’s the season of that witch
I make my bed down in the grasdu,

My ma put some flowers on my grave.
I can’t even give her a little wave.
That conjureman’s funky trance didn’t give me the chance,
I’m a Zombiman—and a Zombiman’s a slave…

CHORUS

Zombi, Zombi
Slave to the Gris Gris
