Hoodoo Voodoo Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hoodoo voodoo, seven twenty one two
Haystacker hostacka, ABC
High poker, low joker, ninety-nine-a-zero
Sidewalk, streetcar, dance a goofy dance

Blackbirdy, bluejay, one, two, three, four
Trash sack, jump back, EFG
Biggy hat, little hat, fatty man, skinny man
Grasshopper greensnake, hold my hand

[Chorus]
Hoodoo voodoo, chooka-chooky-choo-choo
True blue, how true, kissle me now

[Verse 2]
Momma cat, Tommy cat, diapers on my clothes line
Two, four, six, eight, I run and hide
Pretty girl, pretty boy, pony on a tin can
I'll be yours, you'll be mine

[Chorus]
Hoodoo voodoo, chooka-chooky-choo-choo
True blue, how true, kissle me now

[Verse 3]
Jinga jangler, tinga lingle, picture on a bricky wall
Hot and scamper, foamy lather, huggle me close
Hot breeze, old cheese, slicky slacky fishy tails
Brush my hair, kissle me some more
[Chorus]
Hoodoo voodoo, chooka-chooky-choo-choo
True blue, how true, kissle me now

[Outro]
Brush my hair
And kissle me some more
Kissle me some more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
