[Verse 1]
He's got the dirtiest shoes that I ever seen
Chew on a blunt wipe his butt with a magazine
Smokin' his crack wash it down with gasoline
Still he push the button, E.F. Hutton when he speaks to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you know he told me, "Shake it, don't break it
It took too damn long to make it"
[Chorus]
Leroy is my mojo man
Leroy is my mojo man
He come he take me by the hand
'Cause Leroy is my mojo man tonight, alright
[Verse 2]
He's just a pimp with a limp and some Vaseline
He told me to "Look, over there!" and stole my nectarine
Said, "Don't turn your back on me black, I'm a sex machine"
Still he push the button, E.F. Hutton when he speaks to me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh you know he told me
"Shake it, don't break it; It took too damn long to make"
[Chorus]
Leroy is my mojo man
Leroy is my mojo man
He come he take me by the hand
'Cause Leroy is my mojo man tonight, alright
[Bridge]
Oh you know he told me
"Shake it, don't break it, it took too damn long to make it"
"Shake it, don't break it, it took too damn long to make it"
[Chorus]
Leroy is my mojo man
Leroy is my mojo man
He come he take me by the hand
'Cause Leroy is my mojo man tonight, alright
