Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
Everythin', everythin', everythin's gonna be alright this mornin'
Ooh yeah! Whoaw! Yeah!
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, way past 21
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 mean mannish boy! I'm a man!
I'm a full grown man! I'm a man!
I'm a natural born lovers 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 to move you honey, come up two hours late
Wasn't that a man?
I spell, M, A, child N
That represents man
No B! 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!
The line that I shoot, I will never miss
When I make love to a woman, 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 woman, in five minutes time
Ain't that a man?
I spell, M, A, child N
That represents man
No B! 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! I'm a man, child!
I'm a hoochie coochie man!
Well, well, well, well, hurry
Hurry! Hurry!
Hurry! Don't hurt me, don't hurt me child!
Don't hurt me, don't hurt, don't hurt me child!
Well, well, well, well
Yeah
