04 Sep 98 - 01:00 PM (#37072) Subject: Lyr Add: I'M A MAN (Bo Diddley) From: Zorro Da da da da da When I was a little boy * at the age of five Had somethin' in my pocket, * keep a lot of folks alive, Now I'm a man, * passed twenty-one, You know honey, * we could have us a lot of fun, I'm a man * I spell M * A * N * man All you pretty women * stand in line, I'll make love to you honey * an hour at a time I'm a man * I spell M * A * N * man. The line I shoot * will never miss They way I make love to 'em * they can't resist I'm a man * (etc.) I'm goin' back home * to (Los Angeloo) Bring back a second cousin * little john the conqueroo. I'm a man * (etc.) I take a little poetic license with a few of the words, but only a few. The reference to "somethin' in my pocket" is his mojo. The reference to john the conqueror is to a root used to ward off evil spirits, etc. Enjoy. |

Muddy Waters' version was called "Manish Boy" and is very similar. Muddy also recorded Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man" also has the same "da da da da da" sigature. |

"Mannish Boy" was written by McKinley Morganfield (Muddy Waters) and Elias McDaniel and released by Muddy Waters in 1955. "Hoochie Coochie Man" was written by Willie Dixon and recorded by Muddy Waters in 1954. If anyone cares. |
