| Come on, you children, gather around,
|
| Gather around, you children,
|
| And we will lose that evil spirit
|
| Called the Voodoo, Voodoo!
|
| Nothing but trouble if he has found,
|
| If he has found you, children!
|
| 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;
|
| Stamp on the ground, you children, come on!
|
| Clap your hands! |
| Slap your thigh!
|
| Hallelujah! |
| Hallelujah!
|
| Everybody come along and join the jubilee!
|
| Clap your hands! |
| Slap your thigh!
|
| Don’t you lose time! |
| Don’t you lose time!
|
| Come along, it’s «Shake your shoes"time
|
| Now for you and me!
|
| On the sands of time
|
| You are only a pebble,
|
| Don’t forget that!
|
| But remember, trouble must be treated
|
| Just like a rebel;
|
| Then send him to the Devil!
|
| Clap your hands! |
| Slap your thigh!
|
| Hallelujah! |
| Hallelujah!
|
| Everybody come along and join the jubilee!
|
| Clap your hands! |
| Slap your thigh!
|
| Hallelujah!
|
| Everybody come along and join the jubilee!
|
| Clap your hands! |
| Slap your thigh!
|
| Don’t you lose time! |
| Don’t you lose time!
|
| Come along, it’s «Shake your shoes"time
|
| Now for you and me!

|
| On the sands of time
