and we will lose that evil spirit
nothing but trouble if he has found
but you can chase the hoodoo
with the dance that you do
you do. let me lead the way
there's a new belief today
but he'll never hound you;
clap your hands! slap your thigh!
ev'rybody come along and join the jubilee!
clap your hands! slap your thigh!
don't you lose time! don't you lose time!
it's shake your shoes" time
