Paul Butterfield › Lyrics › Mannish Boy

Oh yeah, yeah, oh yes
Everything gonna be alright
Oh yeah, yeah

Now, when I was a young boy at the age of five
My mother said I'll be the greatest man alive
And now I'm a man, I'm over twenty one
You better believe me, baby and I'll say
We can have lots of fun

I'm a man, a man
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

The line I shoot will never miss
And when I make love to thee
You just can't resist

Ooh, ain't that a man
Spelled "M", "A" child "N"
No "B" "O" child, "Y"
That spell mannish boy, man

I'm a man, a man
I'm a man, I'm a man

I sitting on the outside
Just me and my mate
I made the move
Come up two hours late

Ah, ain't that a man
No "B", "O" child, "Y"
That spell mannish boy

I'm a man, I'm a man
I'm a full grown man, baby
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh

All you pretty women
Stand in a line
I make love with you, baby
In an hour's time

I'm a man, I'm a man
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
