The Big Easy be my home— Homo Hoodoo Voodoo, baby Vieux Carré loas languish— In this rotting City of Love Homo HooDoo’s been around— Longer than Hollywood Babylon Harlem’s Hoodoo Voodoo once— There at The Niggeratti Mansion Where gay poet Bruce Nugent— Wrote “Smoke, Lily and Jade” But Harlem with its Renaissance— Ended during the Great Depression While Homo Hoodoo Voodoo— Stayed Underground in New Orleans Like some old Egyptian temple— Down by the sluggish Nile Delta MUMBO JUMBO MARDI GRAS Homo HooDoo down by the levee— Mississippi Delta Bourbon Negritude Mardi Gras’s got Mandingo men— Parading up & down Canal Street HooDoo VooDoo Mardi Gras— Long & lanky be what I likes Homo HooDoo VooDoo gets around— Marie Laveau she be back in town Tongues be getting untied again— Mumbo Jumbo Mardi Gras queens
