Getcha some of that gris-gris
Motown Sally got a brand new car
'82 Chevy with a backseat bar
You can have her sister for a tank of gas
But you better work fast 'cause your luck won't last
Her boyfriend Buzzy is a chop shop goon
Gonna marry Sally on the 10th of June
Hot tub, back rub, crap like that
But you better work fast 'cause your luck won't last

Oh, oh, oh, where does it go?
Me, oh my, can you tell me why?
Oh, oh, oh, where does it go?
Me, oh my, can you tell me why?

Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma

Getcha some of that gris-gris
Midnight madness at the mall tonight
Machine gun bullets at half the price
Load 'em up, shoot 'em up, put 'em in the past
But you better work fast 'cause your luck won't last

Oh, oh, oh, where does it go?
Me, oh my, can you tell me why?
Oh, oh, oh, where does it go?
Me, oh my, can you tell me why?

Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma

Getcha some of that gris-gris
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma
Getcha some of that gris-gris

Lenny Grant Lenny got a letter from home
Could he plant some flowers in the Superdome?
You can't grow crops on artificial grass
So you better work fast 'cause your luck won't last

Oh, oh, oh, where does it go?
Me, oh my, can you tell me why?
Oh, oh, oh, where does it go?
Me, oh my, can you tell me why?

Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma

Getcha some of that gris-gris
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma Ma
Babalu Ma
Getcha some of that gris-gris
