Whereas someone seems to have copied and pasted much of the lyric from another posting, I have made every attempt to make this transcription of John Kay’s version of this song accurate. “John the Concheroo,” for example, is something I will annotate once the corrections are made.
[Verse 1]
The gypsy woman told my mama
On the day I was born
Oh, you got a boy child comin'
Oh Lord, he's gonna be a son of a gun
He's gonna make those pretty women
You know, he's gonna make 'em jump and shout
The whole wide world gonna wonder
What it's all about
[Chorus]
Yeah, you know I'm here
And everybody knows I'm here
I'm your Hoochie Coochie man
Oh Lord, Everybody knows I'm here
[Verse 2]
I got a black cat bone
Lord I got a mojo too
I got little John, the conquered
Oh baby, I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna grab those pretty women
I'm gonna grab 'em by the hand
You know, the whole wide world gonna know
Oh Lord, I'm your Hoochie Coochie man
Yes, you know I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
[Interlude]
Yes, I'm your
Mmmmhhh-hmmmm
Ouuhh-huuuhhh
Aw, yeah, don'tcha
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
On the seventh hour
Oh Lord, on the seventh day
I tell you on the seventh month, child
Hey, the seven doctors say
Now he was born for luck
I said, baby, don't you see
I got seven hundred dollars, darlin'
Don't you mess with me
[Chorus]
Because I'm here
Everybody, everybody knows I'm here
I'm your Hoochie Coochie man
Hey, I tell you, everybody knows I'm here
