Shit Kicked In

Well, I was all broke up and I needed a fix So I knocked on the door marked 106 Yeah, I knocked on the door of the Hoodoo Queen At the Congo Square down in New Orleans When the door swung open and the cobwebs flew Out of the blue, Miss Depardieu Made a white cat yell in a great big holler When she gave me a little pity pill to swallow Now the voodoo, hoodoo sure feels strange Sticking like a needle right into my brain He's on an axis, start to spin And right about then, the shit kicked in Sticking like a needle right into my brain And right about then, the shit kicked in I saw the mighty tall Indians on parade Drinking hurricanes and them hand grenades Now I'm seeing stars and fleur-de-lis Jaybird naked in a live oak tree Then I skipped on down to Plaquemines Parish For some étouffée, oysters, shrimp, and crawfish The police there don't seem to mind The old crow tripping on a trolley line Now the voodoo, hoodoo sure feels strange Sticking like a needle right into my brain I was almost home with a mojo hand But right about then, the shit kicked in Sticking like a needle right into my brain Right about then, the shit kicks in I had to pick myself right up real quick So I went looking for the woman at 106 But lo and behold, in the very same spot Was a Popeyes chicken and a Po'Boys shop Well, I'm a back home now from New Orleans But the voodoo queen left a spell on me And every year when Mardi Gras comes again Right about then, the shit kicks in Now the voodoo, hoodoo sure feels strange Sticking like a needle right into my brain I feel I'm back in old Louisian' And right about then, the shit kicks in Oh, sticking like a needle right into my brain Yes, right about then, the shit kicks in
