I took a black cat, a cave bat 
and threw them in a pot pot, pot pot, pot pot 
I took a blue snake, a green snake, and tied them in a knot knot 
knot knot, knot knot 
I took a hog jaw, a dog's paw, and hung them on the line line
line line, line line 
I took a horse hair, a green pear, and made a crazy sign sign
sign sign, sign sign 

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you 
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue 

I took a goat's tooth, an old shoe, and put them in the ground ground
ground ground, ground ground 
I took an old dish, a dry fish, and made a crazy sound sound
sound sound, sound sound 
I took a goose egg, a frog leg, and hid them in a sack sack 
sack sack, sack sack 
I got a Hindu, to tattoo, a genii on my back back
back back, back back 

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you 
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue 

I took a black cat, a cave bat, and threw them in a pot pot
pot pot, pot pot 
I took a blue snake, a green snake, and tied them in a knot knot
knot knot, knot knot 
I took a hog jaw, a dogs paw, and hung them on the line line
line line, line line 
I took a horse hair, a green pear, and made a crazy sign sign
sign sign, sign sign 

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you 
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue 

You'll never never be untrue 
You'll never never be untrue 
You'll never never be untrue 
You'll never never be untrue 
You'll never never be untrue
