I’m just a low pay paddy
Singing high price blues
My mama told me, my daddy too
That the devil makes work
For idle hands to do
Just trying to ease my revolutionnary mind
Just trying to ease my revolutionnary soul
Cuz i’m on a roll
Let the teachers teach
Let the preachers preach
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
Let the chancers chance
Let the dancers dance
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
I gotta shake that hoodoo voodoo
Every once in awhile you gotta crash and burn
Down an empty street, ghetto or demolition zone
Some come to town just to see the sights
Some hit the city just to drink and fight
Just trying to ease my revolutionnary mind
Just trying to ease my revolutionnary soul
Cuz i’m on a roll
Let the teachers teach
Let the preachers preach
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
Let the chancers chance
Let the dancers dance
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
I gotta shake that hoodoo voodoo
When I’m lying alone on this moon-drenched bed
With all possibilities of you in my head
It’s an emotional investment I can’t afford
I know, I know, I know
She’s all 6’s and 7’s and rollin’ 9’s
She don’t go digging for coal
When there’s diamonds in the mine
I called the preacher, I went to churh
He said son you’re gonna get your just desserts
Just trying to ease my revolutionnary mind
Just trying to ease my revolutionnary soul
Cuz i’m on a roll
Let the teachers teach
Let the preachers preach
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
Let the chancers chance
Let the dancers dance
I wanna shake that hoodoo voodoo
I gotta shake that hoodoo voodoo
