Written by Jim Knable
Lead singer: Jim Knable

lyrics

You who come before
We who’re out here waiting
What are we waiting for?
All your hesitating
Voodoo on the man
(You put your) hoodoo on the lady
Shakin’ out your fan
Shake it, shake it, baby
Shake all the rugs
Get a new dog
Take all the drugs
Get on the hog
Flick all the fleas
From out of your hair
Get on your knees
In your underwear
Give your best yell if you see land
New Zealand

Fly up in the sky
Like you’re a Marc Chagall
Batter up your pretty eyes
You’re Ms. Lauren Bacall
How can I even explain to you
How much they mean at all
All these faces fresh
From faded history’s pages
Shake all the rugs
Get a new dog
Take all the drugs
Get on the hog
Flick all the fleas
From out of your hair
Get on your knees
In your underwear
Give your best yell if you see land
New Zealand
New Zealand

On the north or south island
On the west or east cape
I will call it all my land
I will never escape

Put on your fancy boots
Get on your passenger ships
Get on back to your roots
Get on back to your tips
Try to make something good
Try to make something stay
You’re carrying more pieces of wood
Than Jesus on a holiday
Shake all the rugs
Get a new dog
Take all the drugs
Get on the hog
Flick all the fleas
From out of your hair
Get on your knees
In your underwear
Give your best yell if you see land
New Zealand

about

Jim Knable and The Randy Bandits New York

Jim Knable plays with and without various incarnations of The Randy Bandits, formed in 2002, but if he plays with a band, it always ends up being The Randy Bandits, despite the occasionally misleading billing. Studio albums: BLUE REUNION (2020), GOLDEN ARROW (2009), REDBEARD (2006), GREEN MAN (2007-18) form the core of Jim Knable's songwriting output, but the crust is also worth exploring. ... more
