Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Everybody talkin' 'bout the Seventh Son

In the whole round world, there is only one

[Verse 2]

And I'm the one, I'm the one

I'm the one, I'm the one

The one they call the Seventh Son

[Verse 3]

I can tell your future, it will come to pass (Doo wop, doo wop)

I can do the things to you, make your heart feel glad (Doo wop, doo wop)

Look in the sky, predict the rain (Doo wop, doo wop)

Tell when a woman's got another man (Doo wop)

[Verse 4]

I'm the one, oh I'm the one

(Yes, baby you're the one)

(Yes, baby you're the one)

I'm the one, I'm the one (Ah, ah)

The one they call the Seventh Son

(Call the Seventh Son)

[Verse 5]

I can talk to these words that will sound so sweet (Doo wop, doo wop)

They will even make your little heart skip a beat (Doo wop, doo wop)

Heal the sick, raise the dead (Doo wop, doo wop)

Make the little girls talk outta their heads (Doo wop)

[Verse 6]

I'm the one, oh I'm the one

(Yes, baby you're the one)

(Yes, baby you're the one)

I'm the one, I'm the one (Ah, ah)

The one they call the Seventh Son

(Call the Seventh Son)

[Verse 7]

Hey

(Ah, ah, ah, ah) Alright, yeah

[Verse 8]

I'm the one

(Ah, ah, ah, ah)

[Verse 9]

I can talk to these words that will sound so sweet (Doo wop, doo wop)

They will even make your little heart skip a beat (Doo wop, doo wop)

Heal the sick, raise the dead (Doo wop, doo wop)

And make the little girls talk outta their heads (Doo wop)

[Verse 10]

I'm the one, oh I'm the one

(Yes, baby you're the one)

(Yes, baby you're the one)

I'm the one, I'm the one

The one they call the Seventh Son (Ah, ah)

(Call the Seventh Son)

I'm the one, hey hey, I'm the one

(Yes, baby you're the one)

(Yes, baby you're the one)

Yeah, I'm the one babe, ooh, I'm the one

(Yes, baby you're the one)

(Yes, baby you're the one)

I'm the one, I'm the one (Ah, ah)

The one they call the Seventh Son

(Call the Seventh Son)

I'm the one, I'm the one (Ah, ah)

The one they call the Seventh Son

(Call the Seventh Son)

Yes!
