Cruel Spell
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Lyrics

I walked in, she was waiting
As I arrived, she was already there, all set to address me.

It was late and I was drunk
As it was quite late, I had already had a lot to drink.

She said it's a quarter to ten
She informed me that it was ten minutes before ten PM.

Where have you been?
She questioned me to know where I had spent my time.

You better have a good excuse me for me
She rightly told me that I ought to provide a convincing reason to her.

I said, hey, please be honored
I pleaded with her to show mercy and clemency.

'Cuz that's where I spent the night
As a justification, I told her that I was spending the night only at that place mentioned earlier.

First I hit a bar, smashed my car
I listed two unfortunate situations I found myself in earlier: trying to drink, while also accidentally wrecking my car.

And I ended up in a fight
As a consequence of my earlier misfortunes, I got into an altercation with someone else.

She slapped the cruel spell of love on me, baby
I blamed her for inflicting me with a terrible spell of love - the kind that causes people a lot of suffering and distress.

The cruel spell of love on me, Jack
I tried to emphasize how bad the spell was upon me, by making a reference to Jack - an expression to indicate severity, seriousness, or harshness.

She wears the black nightgown for me
She was intentionally wearing something that appeals to me, knowing how I like it.

She mad a deal with the devil for me
I was accusing her of having done some really extreme things to me that involved making a pact with an evil supernatural being.

Yeah!
An expression to signify triumph, achievement, agreement, or excitement.
