Voodoo Version
Mr. Jones in the middle of the door
Stepping in to step out
He’s in town, he doesn’t make a sound
What’s this, what is this about
Oh, I figured him out but I’m a little unsure
I can’t sleep here tonight
I won’t ask, do I really wanna know
What Jones was doing last night
What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he’s hiding and acting like nothing is wrong
Where’d he go, there’s he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone
(Ha)
Fine dine better wine then the rest
He’s got looks to kill
In touch, but never too much
Oh no alone left with the bill
Black hat, Cadillac, lots of cash
Lots at stake
Quick wits got a room at The Ritz
Can’t judge a man by what he makes
What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he’s hiding and acting like nothing is wrong
Where’d he go, there’s he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone
You wanna do you do you wanna
Piranha pa-pa-piranha
You wanna do you, do you wanna
Piranha pa-pa-piranha
Piranha
Do you do you
I don’t really wanna
Piranha pa-pa-piranha
Sleep without piranha
Do you wanna do you do you
I don’t really wanna
You wanna Mr. Jones
(Shhhh…)
What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he’s hiding and acting like nothing is wrong
Where’d he go, there’s he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone
What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he’s hiding and acting like nothing is wrong
Where’d he go, there’s he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone
Do you wanna, do you, do you, d’wanna
I don’t really wanna
Piranha p-p-piranha
Sleep without piranha
Do you wanna, do you, do you, d’wanna
I don’t really wanna
Piranha p-p-piranha
Sleep without piranha
Do you wanna, do you, do you, d’wanna
I don’t really wanna
Piranha p-p-piranha
Sleep without piranha
Do you wanna, do you, do you, d’wanna
Sleep without piranha
Do you wanna Mr. Jones
Reloaded Version
Mr. Jones in the middle of the door
He’s stepping in to step out
He’s in town, he doesn’t make a sound
What’s this, what is this about
Oh, I figured him out but I’m a little unsure
I can’t sleep here tonight
I won’t ask, do I really wanna know
What Jones was doing last night
What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he’s hiding and acting like nothing is wrong
Where’d he go?
There’s he goes
Mr. Jones suddenly gone
(Ha)
Fine dine better wine then the rest
He’s got looks to kill
In touch, but never too much
Oh no alone left with the bill
Black hat, Cadillac, lots of cash
Lots at stake
Quick wits got a room at The Ritz
Can’t judge a man by what he makes
What happened to the black suitcase
In the middle of the dark staircase
Where he’s hiding and acting like nothing is wrong

Mr. Jones in the middle of the door
Stepping in to step out
He’s in town, he doesn’t make a sound
What’s this, what is this about
Oh, I figured it out but I’m a little unsure
I can’t sleep at night
Won’t ask, I really wanna know
