Bob Dole, the candidate for president was sad
Bob Dole, the candidate for president was blue
Jack Kemp, Supply Sider ,he told me what to do
He told me,

(witchdoctor alone)
Voodoo deja vu, promise everyone a tax cut
Voodoo deja vu, promise everyone a tax cut
Voodoo deja vu, promise everyone a tax cut
Voodoo deja vu, promise everyone a tax cut

I told Jack Kemp my campaign was sinking fast
I told Jack Kemp my campaign was cold as ice
Jack Kemp, Supply Sider, he gave me this advice
He told me,

(witchdoctor & singer)
Voodoo deja vu, promise everyone a tax cut
(repeat total of four times)

Balancing the budget
would cause pain and sacrifices
So that proposal I will never float
I don't care if deficits explode
like under Reagan
I'll say anything to get your vote

Jack Kemp, Supply Sider
He taught me what to say
Jack Kemp, Supply Sider
He taught me what to do
I know you'll vote for me
When I say this to you,

(singer alone for 2 stanzas, then singer & witchdoctor for 2)
Voodoo deja vu, promise everyone a tax cut

My campaign was stumbling along
just like a zombie
And then Jack Kemp responded to my plea
Voodoo economics promises something for nothing
It worked for Reagan
and it just might work for me

Jack Kemp, Supply Sider
He taught me what to do
Jack Kemp, Supply Sider
He taught me what to say
So that you'll vote for me
upon election day, you suckers
