Somebody Done Hoodooed The Hoodoo Man (03-13-40) - Louis Jordan

Hey, clowns, have you dug the latest jive on the surfar?

No, man!

Well they got him

They got who?

You know, that man that’s been cooking up that jive

Selling it to these folks 'round town

Makin 'em have them funny dreams

You mean the hoodoo man?

Yeah!

Oh no, that cat thought he was just too grand!

Well gay, somebody done hoodoo’d the hoodoo man

Smack me down with the story gay

Ol' Joe Hannah from Louisiana

A hoodoo king in every manner

But i found out with out a doubt

The tables had turned on him

He ain’t got a tooth in his head

Poor Ol' Joe is almost dead

Somebody done hoodoo’d the hoodoo man

10, 10, double 10, 45, 15

Joe can’t drink no gin

Ain’t nothing go over the devil’s back

That don’t buckle under his chin

His face looks just like gravel sand

And everybody’s got Joe on the pan

Somebody done hoodoo’d the hoodoo man

Somebody done cooked up some stuff in a pot

Not too cold and not to hot

They dropped a few drops in Joe’s beef stew

Now he’s blowing his top, he don’t know what to do

They don’t know who did it

They can’t find out

But he’s done hoodoo’d his last hoodoo without a doubt

Somebody done hoodoo’d

Done hoodoo’d the hoodoo man
