Ooohhh Yeah! Oh Yeah.
Everythin', everythin', everythin's gonna be alright this mornin'
Ooh yeah, whoo
Now when I was a young boy, at the age of five
My mother say I was, gonna be the greatest man alive
But now I'm a man, way past 21
Want you to believe me woman,
I had lot's of fun
I'm a man
I spell M, A, child N
That represent man
No B, (no) O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
Man, yeah
I'm a full grown man
Man
I'm a natural born lovers man
Man
I'm a rollin' stone
Man
I'm a hoochie coochie man
Sittin' on the outside, just me and my mate
You know I'm made to move honey,
come up two hours late
Wasn't that a man
I spell M, A child, N
That represent I'm grown
No B, O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
Man, (yeah)
I'm a full grown man
Man
I'm a natural born lovers man
Man
I'm a rollin' stone
Man, (yeah)
I'm a hoochie coochie man
Well, well, well, well,
The line I shoot will never miss
When I make love to a girl,
she can't resist
I think I go down,
to old Kansas Stew
I'm gonna bring back my second cousin,
that little Johnny Cocheroo
All you little girls,
sittin'out at that line
I can make love to you girl,
in five minutes time
Ain't that a man (yeah)
I spell M, A child, N
That represent man
No B (no), O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
Man
I'm a full grown man
Man
I'm a natural born lovers man
Man
I'm a rollin' stone
Man-child
I'm a hoochie coochie man
well, well, well, well
well, well, well, well
well, well, well, well
hurry
