Hey Papa Legba Lyrics - Elton John

He would recount the stories he had learned so well 

Fourteen years is a long time in one cell 

When the pipe is passed the opium does its rounds 

Papa Legba sitting pretty in a chicken little town 

His textured skin, like leather in the sun 

Fingers beating hard upon a native drum 

He picks his teeth with a splintered back rib bone 

Papa Legba bears his fangs and lays alone 

Hey Papa Legba, hoo-boo-be-do 

Hey Papa Legba, no one gonna bother you 

Hey Papa Legba, hoo-boo-be-do 

Shake Papa Legba, no one's gonna bother you tonight, alright

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

He was free to dance alone where the spirits run 

His almond eyes would twinkle on a hundred sons 

His champagne toast and white meat on a spit 

Papa Legba's drunken with a smile upon his lips
