Voodoo
Adam Sandler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep it down for goodness sake
It's way too early in the morning
Can't you please use your wooden rake
You choose to ignore I
Even though me hungover
That's not being nice
So tonight, your head will be covered in lice
Voodoo spell on you
Voodoo Voodoo
You shouldn't have given that dirty stare
Voodoo Voodoo
Too late for sorry, go cut off your hair
Hey there old, old woman
Shopping for food at the store
Why'd you run your cart into I
And knock me eggs on the floor
Then took the last unbruised cantelope
And laughed so loud with glee
But you won't be laughing
'Cause from now on it'll burn when you pee
Voodoo spell on you
Voodoo Voodoo
You couldn't have made I any madder
Voodoo Voodoo
That's why I put a curse on your bladder
Boodaloo Boodalay
Boodalee Boodalie
Are the words that he say
When you fuck with I
Voodoo
Hey there Mr. State Trooper
Me was only going 58
Please don't you write up that ticket
It'll ruin me insurance rate
You say you have a quota to meet
So straight to hell with I
Me have only one response
Boodalee Boodalie
Voodoo spell on you
Voodoo Voodoo
You cost I eighty dollars cash
Voodoo Voodoo
Me hope you like your new skin rash
In Adam Sandler's song Voodoo, the lyrics talk about three different situations where someone has wronged the singer, and now he is seeking revenge through a voodoo spell. The first verse is directed towards a leaf blower man who is making too much noise early in the morning, causing the singer to be even more hungover. The singer calls out the man for being rude and warns him that he will cast a voodoo spell on him, which will result in him having lice on his head. The second verse talks about an old lady who knocked the singer's eggs on the floor while shopping and then laughed at him. The singer puts a curse on her that will make her experience pain while peeing, to teach her a lesson. In the final verse, a state trooper pulls over the singer for going only 58 miles per hour and gives him a ticket, putting him in a bad mood. The singer decides to curse him too, causing the trooper to have a skin rash.
The song seems to be a playful way for the singer to express his anger towards people who have wronged him. He uses voodoo spells as a way to seek revenge and show them that they cannot simply get away with their actions. It is clear that he is not pleased with the situations he has been put in, and the lyrics show his frustration and anger towards these people. The repetitive use of "Boodaloo Boodalay, Boodalee Boodalie" as a sort of chant adds to the mystical concept of voodoo, making the listener envision some sort of ceremony taking place.
