Well, I stand up next to a mountain
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand, yeah
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
Want to say one more last thing
I didn't mean to take - up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days
I said, I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back one of these days, yeah
And if I don't meet you no more in this world
Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one
Now don't be late, don't be late
'Cause I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, hey, hey, hey
I'm a voodoo child, baby
I don't take no for an answer
Just want you to know
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I stand up next to a mountain
Chop it down with the edge of my hand
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island
Might even raise a little sand, yeah
'Cause I'm a voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, baby
Want to say one more last thing
I didn't mean to take - up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back to you one of these days
I said, I didn't mean to take up all your sweet time
I'll give it right back one of these days, yeah
And if I don't meet you no more in this world
Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one
Now don't be late, don't be late
'Cause I'm a voodoo child, voodoo child
Lord knows I'm a voodoo child, hey, hey, hey
I'm a voodoo child, baby
I don't take no for an answer
Just want you to know

that's what this site is for, REMEMBER?
He is fully enjoying life and becaus eof that he misses quite some appointments. But he promises to make it up in the future. And if he passes away before you, he makes you keep an appointment for which you for sure are gonna 'be late!' So you have to make up the lame excuse in stead of him.
I really don't see how people get that wrestling thing out of this song...
Could some one clarify that>
