Hootchie Cootchie Man


A gypsy woman told my mother
before I was born
"I got a boy child coming
He's gonna be a son of a gun.
He's gonna make pretty womens
jump and shout
then the world wanna know
what's this all about


But they know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
I'm the Hootchie Cootchie Man
Everybody knows I'm him


I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got a John the Conquerer root
I'm gona mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls
Lead me by the hand


Then the world will know
the Hootchie Cootchie Man
Everybody knows I'm him
I'm the Hootchie Cootchie Man
Everybody knows I'm him


On the seventh hour
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say
"He was born to good luck
And that you see
I got seven hundred dollars
don't you mess with me


But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
I'm the Hootchie Cootchie Man
Everybody knows I'm him
