Friends On The Other Side Song Lyrics by Keith David
Don’t you disrespect me little man!Don’t you derogate or deride!You’re in my world nowNot your worldAnd I got friends on the other side!
That’s an echo, gentlemenJust a little something we have here in LouisianaA little parlor trick. Don’t worry
Sit down at my tablePut your minds at easeIf you relax it will enable me to do anything I pleaseI can read your futureI can change it ’round some, tooI’ll look deep into your heart and soul(You do have a soul, don’t you, Lawrence?)Make your wildest dreams come true!
I got voodoo, I got hoodooI got things I ain’t even tried!And I got friends on the other side
The cards, the cards, the cards will tellThe past, the present, and the future as well!The cards, the cards, just take threeTake a little trip into your future with me!
Now you, young man, are from across the seaYou come from two long lines of royaltyI’m a royal myself on my mother’s sideYour lifestyle’s highBut your funds are lowYou need to marry a lil’ honey whose daddy got dough!
Mom and dad cut you off, huh playboy?Now y’all gotta get hitched, but hitchin’ ties you downYou just wanna be freeHop from place to placeBut freedom takes green!
It’s the green, it’s the green, it’s the green you needAnd when I looked into your futureIt’s the green that I see!
On you little man, I don’t wanna waste much timeYou been pushed around all your lifeYou been pushed around by yourMother and your sister and your brotherAnd if you was marriedYou’d be pushed around by your wifeBut in your future, the you I seeIs exactly the man you always wanted to be!
Shake my handCome on boysWon’t you shake the poor sinner’s hand?
YesAre you ready?(Are you ready?)Are you ready?
Transformation central!(Transformation central!)Reformation central!(Reformation central!)Transmogrification central!
Can you feel it?You’re changin’, You’re changin’, You’re changin’, all right!I hope you’re satisfiedBut if you ain’tDon’t blame me!You can blame my friends on the other side!(You got what you wanted)(But you lost what you had)
