Gypsy woman told my mother
Before i was born
Got a boy child comin
Like a son of a gun
A boy and girl
Both jump and shout
And world's gonna find out
What it's all about

Because i and i am
Yeah, everybody knows i am
Said i'm your hoochie coochie man
And everybody knows i am

I got a black cat bone
A mojo tooth
Talk bout john the conqueree
That dont mess with you
A man and a woman
A boy and girl
In hoochie coochie ghetto
Drive around the world

Just like i am
And everybody knows i am
Said i'm your hoochie coochie man
And everybody knows i am

On th 7th hour
Come 7 days
Talk bout 7 months
And 7 docters say
Your born for bad luck
That's a low down shame to see
I got seven thousand dollars
Dontcha mess with me

Because i am
Yeah, everybody knows i am
Said i'm a hoochie coochie man
And everybody knows i am
Everybody knows...
You know i am.
