I'm gonna use my hocus pocus voo doo on you
I'm gonna use my hocus pocus voo doo on you
Gonna make you love me, you little girl
'Cause I love you
Hocus pocus one, two, three
You're the cutest little I ever did see
Hocus pocus three, four, five
You can keep a runnin' but you can't hide
I'm gonna use, use my stuff on you
I'm gonna use, use my voo doo on you
Gonna make you love me, you little girl
'Cause I love you
Hocus pocus five and six
Then, I'll use my bag of tricks
Baby, when I cast my spell on you
They're nothing in the world that you can do
I'm gonna use, use my stuff on you
I'm gonna use my hocus pocus voo doo on you
Gonna make you love me, you little girl
'Cause I love you
When I use my voo doo seven and eight
Then, you'll ask me for a date
When I use voo doo number nine
You'll be mine 'till the end of time
Gonna use, use my voo doo on you
I'm gonna use my hocus pocus voo doo on you
Gonna make you love me, you little girl
'Cause I love you
Hocus pocus on you!
Oh, yeah!
