I Put A Spell On You Lyrics
John Fogerty
Lyrics
I put a spell on you
and now you're mine.
You can't stop the things I do.
I ain't lyyyyyin'.
It's been 300 years
right down to the day,
now the witch is back
and there's hell to pay.
I put a spell on you
and now you're miiiiiine!
Hello, Salem! My name's Winifred, what's yours?
I put a spell on you
and now you're gone.
My whammy fell on you
and it was strong.
Your wretched little lives
have all been cursed,
'cause of all the witches working
I'm the worst!
I put a spell on you
and now you're mine!
If you don't believe,
you'd better get superstitious.
Ask my sisters!
"Ooh, she's vicious!"
I put a spell on you,
a wicked spell,
I put a spell on you.
Sisters!
Ah-say-into-pie,
Oppa-mabey-uppen-die.
"Ah say into pie,
Oppa mabey uppen die".
In-kama-koray-ah-ma.
Hey, hi, say, bye-bye-i-i-i-i-i-i!
Bye bye
Song & Lyrics Facts
John Fogerty's iconic song, "I Put a Spell On You," was released in 1968 on the album Creedence Clearwater Revival. Written by Screamin' Jay Hawkins and performed by John Fogerty (vocals, guitar), Tom Fogerty (guitar), Stu Cook (bass) and Doug Clifford (drums), this classic rock 'n' roll song is considered one of the most influential songs in music history.
The lyrics tell the story of a man who has fallen under the spell of love, declaring that he will do anything to make his beloved happy. According to John Fogerty, the idea for the song came from him hearing an old record with the same title while visiting a friend. He thought it would be fun to re-record the song with a new arrangement and added some of his own signature guitar riffs.
