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 got friends on the other side
I got friends on the other side
Sit down at my table
Put your minds 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'll 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
I've got friends on the other side
The cards, the cards, the cards will tell
The past, the present, and the future as well
The cards, the cards, just take three
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
Your lifestyle's high
But your funds are low
You need to marry a little honey whose daddy got dough
Mom and Dad cut you off, huh, playboy?
Now y'all gotta get hitched
But hitchin' ties you down
You just wanna be free, hop from place to place
But freedom, freedom takes green
It's the green, it's the green, it's the green you need
And when I look into your future, it's the green that I seen
On you, little man, I don't wanna waste much time
You been pushed 'round all your life
You 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 I see
Is exactly the man you always wanted to be
Shake my hand
Come on, boys, won't you shake a poor sinner's hand?
Yeah!
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
