Lyrics
You can touch my crystal and my Ouija board
Ring those bells a-hangin' on my door
Shake those charms that dangle from my wall
But keep those hands off my voodoo doll
Light my candle, but you might get burned
I'll shake my bangles, show you what I've learned
Laid my cards on the table, you can see them all
But keep those hands off my voodoo doll
May I see some ID, please?
Is it gettin' warm in here, or is it just me?
You can pluck every string on my mandolin
The black cat's hungry and he wants to come in
Lay your coins on the table, 'fore I take off my shawl
But keep those hands off my voodoo doll
Hey, what do you say, let's dance
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't even go there
Tambourines jingle and they're perfectly round
The gray wolf is howlin', he's a mean ol' hound
Keep your eyes on the moon, 'cause you just might fall
But don't be a-touchin' on my voodoo doll
Shake the beads on my curtain, but don't shake too hard
There's red-hot magic in that medicine jar
Gather up your trinkets, bring 'em one and all
But keep those hands off my voodoo doll
