lyrics

I heard that story from the days of old
It was a favorite lie that the white man told
If you work real hard and you be real good
They’ll give you a lump of sugar and a chance to groove

Well I’ve heard it all before and I’ve had enough
I don’t need to tow your line to prove I’m tough
You can keep your sugar and I’ll keep my groove
‘Cause I know how to dance and I don’t need you

But you need my power to drive your train
‘Cause you don’t know how to make it rain
You don’t know how to talk to the spirits below
And you can’t dance, ‘cause you ain’t got no soul

It’s a soul thing
And I’m the voodoo queen
It’s a soul thing
Hey hey, bow down to the voodoo queen

The ancestors told me to watch for you
You’re lazy and you think that you can steal voodoo
But if you want the power you must be ready to die
And be the kind of man who can look me in the eye

It’s a soul thing
And I’m the voodoo queen
It’s a soul thing
Hey hey, bow down to the voodoo queen
