Friends on the Other Side sing and play along
Don't you disrespect me, little man!
Don't you derogate or deride.
You're in my world now, not your world,
and I got friends on the other side.
(He's got friends on the other side.)
Sit down at my table,
put your minds at ease.
If you relax, it will enable me to do anything I please.
I can read your future,
I can change it 'round
some, too.
I'll look deep into your heart and soul
make your wildest dreams come true.
I got voodoo, I got hoodoo,
I got things I ain't even tried.
And I got friends on the other side.
(He's got friends on the other side.)
The cards, the cards, the cards will tell the past,
the present and the future as well.
The cards, the cards,
just take three:
take a little trip into your future with me.
Now you, young man, are from across the sea.
You come from two long lines of royalty.
Your lifestyle's high, but your funds are low.
You need to marry a little honey whose daddy got dough.
It's the green, it's the green,
it's the green you need.
And when I looked into your future,
it's the green that I seen.
On you, little man, I don't wanna waste much time;
you been pushed 'round all your life.
You been pushed 'round by your mother and your sister and your brother,
and if you was married, you'd be pushed 'round by your wife.
But in your future, the you I see is exactly the man you always wanted to be.
Yes! Are you ready?
(Are you ready?)
Are you ready?
Transformation central.
formation cen Reformation central.
formation cen Transmodification central.
Can you feel it?
You're changing, you're changing, you're changing all right;
I hope you're satisfied.
But if you ain't,
don't blame me!
You can blame my friends on the other side!
(You got what you wanted...)
(...but you lost what you had.)
Ooh,
hush!
