Expressing regret for not believing in Kije's Ouija board earlier.
I took my favorite lover way up north,
The narrator and their favorite lover travel north, setting the scene for their interaction with Kije.
we packed our boots and skis
Preparing for the journey with boots and skis.
And we found as a lodging Kije's magic house-
Choosing Kije's magic house as their lodging.
there he sat with a board upon his knees
Describing Kije sitting with a Ouija board on his knees.
Kije's Ouija, Kije's Ouija Board
Reiteration of Kije's association with the Ouija board.
Kije's Ouija, gee, we should've believed, believed before
Expressing regret for not believing in Kije's Ouija board sooner.
Then he asked us would we like to sit and learn about magic,
Kije invites the narrator to learn about magic using the Ouija board.
My Ouija board will set you straight on all that's happy or tragic
The Ouija board is presented as a tool to reveal both happy and tragic aspects of life.
We sat right down to scrutinize the weird old indicator
The narrator and company sit down to examine the mysterious indicator on the Ouija board.
Neither did we understand or believe it till later
Initial disbelief in the Ouija board's messages, implying a revelation or understanding later on.
Kije's Ouija, Kije's Ouija Board
Reiteration of Kije's association with the Ouija board.
Kije's Ouija, gee, we should've believed, believed before

It told us that some wise old angel had prepared for us a special treat
The Ouija board predicts a special treat from a wise old angel for the narrator.
that everyone who kicked a little dog would surely lose his feet
A warning that those mistreating animals would face consequences.
And everyone who shook his fist in anger soon would be shaking in bed,
A caution against expressing anger, foretelling discomfort in bed.
And every single time a curse was said
A general warning about the consequences of uttering curses.
someone's tongue would surely drop from his head
Highlighting severe consequences of curses, such as losing one's tongue.
Now many more like this the angel will send, but you could do yourself much worse
Suggesting more messages from the angel through the Ouija board, with a cautionary tone.
Just push a couple buttons, let your favorite bombs completely cover over the earth
Encouraging destructive behavior through the use of bombs.
Now the angel's curse has come and gone, but everyone knew that
The angel's curse has occurred, but everyone was aware of the consequences.
We didn't need a Ouija board to give us any clue
Reflecting that the Ouija board wasn't necessary to understand the wrongness of their way of life.
that the way we lived was far from right,
A realization of living a morally incorrect life.
the first curse came to reckon
The first curse arrives to reckon with their actions.
No one dares to ask old Kije 'bout the second
Uncertainty or hesitation about asking Kije regarding the second curse.
Kije's Ouija, Kije's Ouija Board
Reiteration of Kije's association with the Ouija board.
Kije's Ouija, gee, we should've believed, believed before
Expressing regret for not believing in Kije's Ouija board sooner.
