Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gypsy woman told my mama while 'fore I was born
Got a boy child comin' mama, he'll be a bad one, now
I'll make all you, little girls, turn your heads around
Then I'm gonna take you, little girls
Gonna take you right on down with me, yeah
Ho, you just wait and see
I'll be your hoochie coochie man
I'll set you free
[Verse 2]
On the seventh hour of the seventh day
On the seventh month, seven doctors, they say
I've got lots of good luck, you know they all agree
But now if ya, if you're lookin' for trouble, babe
You better not mess with me, hey
'Cause you know I'll get ya, one by one
Ain't no fun now
I'm that old hoochie coochie man
A bad son of a gun
[Verse 3]
Got a John the Conqueroot and got some mojo too
We got a black cat born, we're gonna slip it to you
Hey, move over, people, just as fast as you can
Said, I know you're waitin' for me
'Cause I'm the hoochie coochie man
I'm gon-, I'm gonna get you, one by one
I got set on that old hoochie coochie man
And I'm yo' son of a gun
[Verse 4]
Now, the gypsy woman told mama
Oh, 'while 'fore I was born
She said, "You know, he's comin', mama
And he'll be a bad, very bad one"
Make all the ladies turn their heads around
And you said, "I can just see all those women chasin' him on down"
Way down now
I'm your hoochie coochie man
Everybody knows
