The Voodoo - Don Azpiazu & His Havana Casino Orchestra

A pearl for a heart and buttons for the eyes Stuffed inside with cloves and spices Chant your words in the night With needle and thread sew together your strange devices But I don't feel these pins and needles These pins and needles You have no power here No, I don't fear you anymore No black magic can control me And no curse can let you own me There's nothing you can do or say I'm just gonna do it anyway So go ahead, carve your candle With that knife with the white handle This is my life after all I'm not you voodoo doll With your old book of spells and strands of my hair You whisper the incantation It's your remote control over my heart and soul My behavior is your creation But I don't feel these pins and needles These pins and needles You have no power here No, I don't fear you anymore No black magic can control me And no curse can let you own me There's nothing you can do or say I'm just gonna do it anyway So go ahead, carve your candle With that knife with the white handle This is my life after all I'm not you voodoo doll I'm not you voodoo doll I'm not you voodoo doll Voodoo doll I don't belong to anyone I'm not a puppet with my strings in your hand I don't belong to anyone I won't obey your commands No black magic can control me And no curse can let you own me There's nothing you can do or say I'm just gonna do it anyway No black magic can control me And no curse can let you own me There's nothing you can do or say I'm just gonna do it anyway So go ahead, carve your candle With that knife with the white handle This is my life after all I'm not you voodoo doll Voodoo doll I'm not your voodoo doll Voodoo doll Voodoo doll

In Cuba, each merry maid Wakes up with this serenade Peanuts! They're nice and hot Peanuts! I sell alot If you haven't got bananas, don't be blue Peanuts in a little bag are calling you Don't waste them, no tummy ache You'll taste them when you awake For at the very break of day The peanut vendor's on his way At dawning that whistle blows Through ev'ry city, town, and country lane You'll hear him sing his plaintive little strain And as he goes by to you he'll say: "Big jumbos, big double ones Come buy those peanuts roasted today Come try those freshly roasted today!"BR Peanuts! I sell alot, BR"Peanuts! We'll meet again BRPeanuts! This street again BRPeanuts! You'll eat again BRYour peanut man.?
