Friends on the Other Side
Sire, this man is obviously a charlatan
I suggest we move on to-
Don't you disrespect me, little man
Don't you derogate or deride!
You're in my world now, not your world
And I got friends on the other side
(He's got friends on the other side)
That's an echo, gentlemen
Just a little something we have here in Louisiana
A little parlor trick, don't worry
Sit down at my table, put your mind at ease
If you relax, it will enable me to do anything I please
I can read your future, I can change around some, too
I look deep into your heart and soul
You do have a soul, don't you, Lawrence?
Make your wildest dreams come true!
I got Vodoo, I got hoodoo, I got things I ain't even tried!
And I got friends on the other side
(He's got friends on the other side!)
Yeah, I got friends on the other side
Come on, the cards, the cards, the cards will tell
The past, the present, and the future as well
The cards, the cards, just take three
Take a little trip into your future with me!
Now you young man are from across the sea
You've come from two long lines of royalty
Your life style's high but your funds are low
You've gotta marry a little honey whose daddy got dough
Mom and dad cut you off, huh, pretty boy?
Eh, sad, but true
Now y'all better get hitched, but hitching ties you down
You just wanna be free, hop from place to place
But freedom, takes green
It's the green, it's the green, it's the green you need!
And when I look into the future, it's the green that I see
On you, little man, I don't want wanna waste much time
You've been pushed 'round all your life!
You've been pushed 'round by your mother
And your sister and your brother
And if you was married
You'd be pushed 'round by your wife
But in your future, the you I see
Is exactly the man you always wanted to be
Shake my hand
Come on, boys
Won't you shake a poor sinner's hand?
Yes!
Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
Are you ready?

Can you feel it?
You're changing, you're changing, you're changing, alright
I hope you're satisfied
But if you ain't, don't blame me
You can blame my friends on the other side
You got what you wanted
But you lost what you had
I've got friends on the other side
I suggest we move on to-
Don't you disrespect me, little man
Don't you derogate or deride!
You're in my world now, not your world
And I got friends on the other side
