Friends on the Other Side

Don't you disrespect me, little man

Don't you derogate or deride

You're in my world now, not your world

And I've got friends on the other side (ha-ha-ha)

I've got friends on the other side

Sit down at my table

Put your mind at ease

If you relax, it will enable me to do anything I please

I can read your future

Change it 'round some, too

I look deep into your heart and soul

Make your wildest dreams come true

I got voodoo, I got hoodoo, I got things I ain't even tried

And I've got friends on the other side

The cards (the cards), the cards will reveal

The past, the present, and the future as well

The cards (the cards) just decry

Take a little trip into your future with me

Now, you, young man, are from across the sea

You come from two long lines of royalty

Well, your lifestyle's high, but your funds are low

You need to marry a little honey whose daddy got dough

Mama tryna cut you off now, playboy

Now your wagon hitched, but hitchin' ties you down

You just wanna be free, off from place to place

But freedom, freedom takes green

It's the green, it's the green, it's the green you'll need

And when I look into your future, it's the green that I see

On you, little man, I won't waste much time

You've been pushed around all your life

You've been pushed 'round by your mother

By your sister and your brother

And if you was married, you'd be pushed 'round by your wife

But in your future, the you that I see

Is exactly the man you've always wanted to be

Shake my hand, come on, boys

Won't you shake a poor sinner's hand?

Yeah, ah-ha-ha-ha-ha

Are you ready? Are you ready?

Transformation central, transformation central

Transformation central, can you feel it?

You're changin', you're changin', you're changin', all right

I hope you're satisfied

But if you're not, don't blame me

You can blame my friends on the other side

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
