A gypsy woman told my mother before I was born
You got a boy child comin', he gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty women jump and shout
Then the world wanna know what this all about

But you know I'm him, everybody knows I'm him
Well, you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

I got a black cat bone, I got a mojo too
I got the John the Conqueroo, I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls lead me by my hand
Then the world will know I'm that hoochie coochie man

But you know I'm him, everybody knows I'm him
Well, you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

On the seventh hour, on the seventh day
On the seventh month seven doctors say
You were born for good luck that you'll see
I got seven hundred dollars, don't you mess with me

But you know I'm him, everybody knows I'm him
Well, you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him
