The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
You got a boy child comin'
He's gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty women
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What's this all about?

But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
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 Johnny conkeroo
I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
And then the world's gonna know
The hoochie coochie man

But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Oh, you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him
Oh yeah, told you why
