  • Music by elton john
  • Lyrics by bernie taupin
  • Released as a uk b-side in 1982
  • He would recount the stories he had learned so well
  • Fourteen years is a long time in one cell
  • When the pipe is passed the opium does its rounds
  • Papa legba sitting pretty in a chicken little town
  • His textured skin, like leather in the sun
  • Fingers beating hard upon a native drum
  • He picks his teeth with a splintered back rib bone
  • Papa legba bears his fangs and lays alone
  • Hey papa legba, hoo-boo-be-do
  • Hey papa legba, no one gonna bother you
  • Hey papa legba, hoo-boo-be-do
  • Shake papa legba, no ones gonna bother you tonight, alright
  • He was free to dance alone where the spirits run
  • His almond eyes would twinkle on a hundred sons
  • His champagne toast and white meat on a spit
  • Papa legbas drunken with a smile upon his lips
