Come all you chil'en and
Gather around,
Gather around you chil'en!
And we will lose
that evil spirit called
Voodoo.
Bud-ela baa-bee-bo-bee!

Nothing but trouble
If he found you
If he has found you chil'en!
But you can chase
That hoodoo
With the dance that
You do.
Let us lead the way
Jubilee today
He'll never hound you
Step on the ground
You chil'en!

Clap yo hands
Slap yo thighs
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Everybody come along
And join the
Jubilee!

Clap yo hands
Slap yo thighs
Don't you lose time
Don't you lose time
Come along
And shake your shoes.
Time now for
You and me.

On the sands of time
You're only a pebble.
But then the trouble
Must be treated
Just like a rebel:
Send it to the devil!

Clap yo hands
Slap yo thighs
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
