Here is a vocal by soprano, Julie Hill, accompanied only by a piano. I am also including the lyrics so that you can follow them, as Julie sings the song.

Come on, you children, gather around.
Gather around, you children,
And we will lose that evil spirit
Called the Voodoo, Voodoo!
Nothing but trouble if he has found,
If he has found you, children!
But you can chase the hoodoo
With the dance that you do, you do.
Let me lead the way,
There’s a new belief today,
But he’ll never hound you;
Stamp on the ground, you children, come on!
Clap your hands! Slap your thigh!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Everybody come along and join the jubilee!
Clap your hands! Slap your thigh!
Don’t you lose time!
Don’t you lose time!
Come along, it’s “Shake your shoes” time
Now for you and me!
On the sands of time
You are only a pebble.
Remember, trouble must be treated
Just like a rebel;
Send him to the Devil!
Clap your hands! Slap your thigh!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Everybody come along and join the jubilee!
