The gypsy woman told my mother - oh yeah
Before I was born
You got a boy child coming
Going to be a son of a gun

He going to make pretty women - oh yeah
Jump and shout
Then the world want to 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 - oh yeah
I got the John the Conqueroo - uh-huh

I'm going to make you girls - that's right
Lead me by my hand - yeah
Then the world will know

But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Ah you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm him

On the seventh hour - what?
On the seventh day - what happened?
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say - no kidding

I was born for good luck - I see that
And that you'll see - yeah
I got 700 dollars
So don't you mess with me

Yeah 'cause I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here - yeah
Well 'cause I'm the hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows I'm here

Ha ha ha ha ha
And his father says
You were born for good luck
And I learn that you'll see

Yeah you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
Well you know I'm the hoochie coochie man
The whole, the whole darn world know we here - that's right
