Gypsy woman told my mother 'fore I was born,

You got a boy-child coming, gonna be a son of a gun

Gonna make pretty womens jump and shout,

And then the world wanna know what this all about



But you know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man

Everybody knows I'm here



I got the black cat bone and I got a mojo tooth

I got the John the Conqueror root, gonna mess with you

I'm gonna make you girls lead me by my hand,

And then the world will know the hoochie coochie man



But you know I'm here

Everybody knows I'm here

Well, I'm the hoochie coochie man

Everybody knows I'm here



On the seventh hour, on the seventh day,

On the seventh month, seven doctors say,

"He was born for good luck, that you'll see"

I got seven hundred dollars; don't you mess with me!
