10cc Baron Samedi lyrics

I'll show you man who walk on fire and don't get burned
Dont get burned, don't get burned he don't get burned
I'll show you man who tread on glass and he don't get cut
Dont get cut, don't get cut he don't get cut

You can take a knife and slit his throat and he won't drop dead
Won't drop dead, won't drop dead he won't drop dead
Been a ju ju boy for a thousand years and he ain't cut yet
Ain't cut yet, ain't cut yet he ain't cut yet

Hold 'em
You've got to crease 'em and fold 'em
You've got to shape 'em and mould 'em
Take a piece of their soul man

Well, he can take a little moonlight
Suck the poison from a snakebite
Movin' round about midnight
He's got the power of life


See the sacrifice of the virgin women
See the deadly snake and the headless chicken
Take a sip from dripping red
Make it with the living dead

Take you up
When you feeling down
When you're sick he will come around
Takes his cures from out the ground

He's the one
Who can hypnotize
And you'll never believe your eyes
He can cause the dead to rise
