Lyrics

Now when I was a little boy
At the age of five
I had somethin' in my pocket
Keep a lot of folks alive
Now I'm a man
Made twenty one
You know, baby
We can have a lot of fun
I'm a man
I spell M
A
N
Man
Awh
Awh
Awh
Awh
All you pretty women
Stand in line
I can make love to you, baby
In an hour's time
I'm a man
I spell M
A
N
Man
I'm goin' back down
To kansas to
Bring back the second cousin
Little John the conqueroo
I'm a man
I spell M
A
N
Man
Oh
Awh
Awh
Awh
The line I shoot
Will never miss
The way I make love to 'em
They can't resist
I'm a man
I spell M
A
N
Man
