I'm your witchdoctor, got the evil eye, Got the power of the devil, I'm the conjurer guy. Gonna teach you love at the midnight hour, Gonna feel you burning like a passion flower. [Chorus] Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey. Hey hey, hey hey hey, hey. Your witchdoctor, your witchdoctor, got my eyes on you. I was born in the country and I lived in the trees. I got my voodoo from the birds and the bees. Gonna teach you love at the midnight hour, Gonna feel you burning, little passion flower. [Chorus] I'm your witchdoctor, got the evil eye, Got the power of the devil, I'm the conjurer guy. Gonna teach you love at the midnight hour, Gonna feel you burning like a passion flower. [Chorus] I've got my mean old spell on you, I've got my mean old spell on you, Your witchdoctor, your witchdoctor, got my eyes on you.
