Witch Doctor
Halloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me too
And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do
He said that...
[Chorus:]
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang...
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me nice
And then the witch doctor, he game me this advice
He said to...
[Chorus:]
Now, you've been keeping love from me
Just like you were a miser
And I'll admit I wasn't very smart
So I went out and found myself
A guy that's so much wiser
And he taught me the way to win your heart
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you
Oh, Baby...
[Chorus:]
The lyrics of "Witch Doctor" by Ross Bagdasarian depict a man who seeks the guidance of a witch doctor to win the affections of someone who he loves but who doesn't reciprocate his feelings. In the first verse, the man expresses his love for the person to the witch doctor and explains that they don't feel the same way. The witch doctor then advises him on what to do next, as heard in the chorus, where he chants "Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang, Walla walla bing bang" in a nonsensical manner.
In the second verse, the man returns to the witch doctor and shares that he thinks the person he loves is insincere in their feelings for him. The witch doctor provides him with another piece of advice, which he then shares with the person he loves in hopes of winning their heart. The final chorus has the man proclaiming that he has learned the way to win the person he loves through the witch doctor's instruction.
The song's lyrics are catchy and playful, making it a popular Halloween and party favorite. However, the theme of seeking magic to manipulate someone's feelings isn't necessarily laudable. Nevertheless, the lyrics, when paired with the upbeat melody and nonsensical phrases, result in a delightfully playful song enjoyed by many.
