Over on the corner is the Ju Ju man
He can put a monkey paw in your hand
And if you want your future told
The gypsy woman's got the house next door.
Yonder goes the hoo-doo rhythm man
Shakes 'dem bones in the hoo-doo band
He's headed down to the union hall
He gonna have a Hoo Doo Ball
Gonna be rockin' at the Hoo Doo Ball
He gonna rock at the Hoo Doo Ball.
Tangle Eye told Jungle Jim
Tell Memphis Minnie and Lightnin' Slim
And don't forget old Speckle Red
Cadillac George and Dime Store Fred.
Yonder goes the hoo-doo rhythm man
Shakes 'dem bones in the hoo-doo band
He's headed down to the union hall
He gonna have a Hoo Doo Ball
Gonna be rockin' at the Hoo Doo Ball
He gonna rock at the Hoo Doo Ball.
Do the black cat boogie all night long
Screamin' Jay gonna sing his song
He's gonna put a spell on you
Then Howlin' Wolf gonna sang one too.
Yonder goes the hoo-doo rhythm man
Shakes 'dem bones in the hoo-doo band
He's headed down to the union hall
He gonna have a Hoo Doo Ball
Gonna be rockin' at the Hoo Doo Ball
He gonna rock at the Hoo Doo Ball
