lyrics

Wicked Willie (Fransen)
Well they call me Wicked Willie you know Wicked is my name
I want every woman that I meet I don’t need to know her name
well I love ’em and I leave ’em cause to me it’s all the same
got the scruples of a vulture – you know scandal’s my middle name
they call me Wicked Willie – Wicked Willie – that’s my name

I know every high class neighborhood and every low-down dive
I got a secret way to keep myself from bein’ recognized
irresistible obsession – that’s what it’s all about
I’m as raunchy as a rabbit – any dog can sniff me out
they call me Wicked Willie – Wicked Willie – that's my name

I’m so fed up with that mojo, I can’t stand that black cat bone
I’m sick and tired of voodoo I got blisters on my soul
I’m headed for damnation cause my sins are as black as coal
I got to get back to the crossroads cause I’m out on the devil’s parole

They call me Wicked Willie – Wicked Willie – that’s my name
and wicked is my game
They call me Wicked Willie – Wicked Willie – that’s my name

It is music that swings, drives, bumps and grinds, moans and groans, screams and shouts, and then steps back and turns introspective, plaintive, or nostalgic. ... more
