Gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
Got a boy child coming
Like a son of a gun
A boy and girl
Both jump and shout
And world's gonna find out
What it's all about

Because I and I am
Yeah, everybody knows I am
Said I'm your Hoochie Coochie Man
And everybody knows I am

I got a black cat bone
A mojo tooth
Talk bout John the Conqueree
That don't mess with you
A man and a woman
A boy and girl
In hoochie coochie ghetto
Drive around the world

Just like I am
And everybody knows I am
Said I'm your Hoochie Coochie Man
And everybody knows I am
On th 7th hour
Come 7 days
Talk bout 7 months
And 7 doctors say
Your born for bad luck
That's a low down shame to see
I got seven thousand dollars
Don't ya mess with me

Because I am
Yeah, everybody knows I am
Said I'm a Hoochie Coochie Man
And everybody knows I am
Everybody knows
You know I am
