Ooooooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Everything's gonna be alright this morning
Ooh yeah
Whoo!

Now when I was a young boy
At the age of five
My mother said I was gonna be
The greatest man alive
But now I'm a man
I'm past twenty-one
I want you to believe me baby
I had lot's of fun

I'm a man
I spell M
A child
N
That represents "man"
No B
O child
Y
That means "mannish boy"

I'm a man!
I'm a full grown man
I'm a man!
I'm a natural born lover's man
I'm a man!
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a man
I'm a hoochie coochie man

Sittin' on the outside
Just me and my mate
You know I'm made the moon honey
Come up two hours late

I'm a man
I spell M
A child
N
That represents "man"
No B
O child
Y
That means "mannish boy"

I'm a man
I'm a full grown man
Man!
I'm a natural born lover's man
Man!
I'm a rollin' stone
Man, I'm a natural born lover's man
I'm a man
I'm a hoochie coochie man

Yeah, yeah, Yeah yeah yeah

The line I shoot
And will never miss
When I make love to a girl
She can't resist
I think I go down
To old Kansas too
I'm gonna bring back to second cousin
That's little Johnny Cocheroo
All you little girls
Sittin' out at that line
I can make love to you, honey
In five minutes time

Ain't that a man?
I spell M
A child
N
That represents man
No B
O child
Y
That means "mannish boy"

Man!
I'm a full grown man
Man!
I'm a natural born lover's man
Man!
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a man
I'm a hoochie coochie man

Well, well, well, well..
Hurry
Hurry!
