[Verse 1: Bo Diddley]
Now when I was a little boy
At the age of five
I had somethin' all in my pockets
Keep a lot of folks alive
Now I'm a man
And I made twenty-one
You know pretty baby
You and I can have a lot of fun

[Chorus: Bo Diddley]
I'm a man
I say man
A hoochie coochie man
Evil
And nasty
Evil
And most untrustworthy
I'm a man
I say man
A hoochie coochie man

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2: Bo Diddley]
The line I shoot
Will never miss
The way I make love to 'em
You know they can't resist
[Outro: Bo Diddley]
I'm a man
I spell it M-A-N
Man
Ow
Ow
Ow
Ow
Ow
Ow
Ow
Ow
Oh
Whoa
