Lyrics

Should you plan to travel way down
SouthWoman to woman,
I gotta tell you 'bout
A curse that rose out of the deep, green swamp
It hollers murder and it makes you jump
And then it says
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, woah, yeah
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, woah, yeah
When I was younger, just a little girl
Lennon glasses and a ponytail
My mama told me, "Honey, pack your trunkWe're goin' to Mississippi, do the bayou bump"
Where they say
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, woah, yeah
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
One day, I set out for a walk
The path soon grew quite dark
I saw my shadow runnin' faster
Hurry, slow-mo comin' after me
After me and it said
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, woah, yeah
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, woah, woah, yeah
And zombie don't have to dance
And zombie don't dance at your command
But zombie don't have to wait
So come on do the voodoo shake
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, woah, yeah
One day, I set out for a walk
The path soon grew quite dark
I saw my shadow runnin' faster
Hurry, slow-mo comin' after me
After me and it said
Do the zombie
And do the zombie, woah, yeah
Do the zombie
And do the zombie, woah, woah, yeah
Sun is shinin' and you're feelin' fine
As you pass the
Mason-Dixie line
The forest echoes and the tree leaves snap
Hey, what's that sound, spin around who that?
Then they say
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, woah, yeah
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Do the zombie, zombie, woah, yeah
Do the zombie
Do the zombie, woah, woah, yeah
Do the zombie
Do the zombie
Zombie, zombie, the zombie
Do the zombie
Zombie, zombie
