lyrics
Verse 1
Here starts the story of the Night Tripper
Born under a Hoodoo Moon
Under the guise of a healer
Was the good doctor himself
Starting on a 6 string sling, cut short by a ricochet
He traded his plectrum, for a fine stretch of ivories
Chorus
Such a Night
Such a Moon soaked night
Casting spells from New Orleans
Such a Night
Moon so bright
Weaving dreams in New Orleans
Verse 2
Schooled by Clowns and Professors, it wasn't long before Mac was the daddy!
Spreading his voodoo with his musical gumbo,
Ohh yeahhh!!!
The high priest of piano cast his spells far and wide
Healing the needy and the needed
With his amulet of sounds & poetry
Chorus
Such a Night
Such a Moon soaked night
Casting spells from New Orleans
Such a Night
Moon so bright
Weaving dreams in New Orleans
Improv
Yeahh, go cast those spells Baby!
Cast them far and wide...
Verse 4
And here ends the story of Dr.John,
Also known as Malcolm John Rebennack Junior
The musical Night Tripper
Always in the right place at the right time
Casting spells from that bayou high above.
for Maharaja's
