Right as rain, plain as dirt
Les jeune filles, keep me alert
Love is sweet as sugar cane
Plain as dirt, right as rain

Black magic women cast spells for a living
Knock your train right off of the tracks
Voodoo eyes take you by surprise
It’s a supernatural fact

Ma cherie Josee’ et bebe’ Renee’
Practice witchcraft all of the time
Don’t know how they engineer it
But they conjure up the spirits
And the dance we do is divine

Right as rain, plain as dirt
Les jeune filles, keep me alert
Love is sweet as sugar cane
Plain as dirt, right as rain

Heading to the crossroads, hungry for a mambo
Rollin’ soon as I arrive
Two o’clock, three o’clock, four o’clock rock
By five I wonder if I’ll survive
Paulette’s a good bet, Suzette’s better yet
But Lorraine's at the top of my list
It takes a whole lot of magic to shake a grown man
Make him feel like he’s never been kissed

Right as rain, plain as dirt
Les jeune filles, keep me alert
Love is sweet as sugar cane
Plain as dirt, right as rain

Plain as dirt, right as rain
