[Verse 1]
The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
You got a boy child's comin’
He's gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty women
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What this all about?

[Chorus]
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I’m him
Well you know I'm the Hoochie Coochie Man
Everybody knows I'm him

[Verse 2]
I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny Conkeroo
I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
Then the world will know
That I'm a Hoochie Coochie Man

[Chorus]
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I’m the Hoochie Coochie Man
Everybody knows I’m him

[Verse 3]
On the seventh hours
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say
I was born for good luck
And that you'll see
I got seven hundred dollars
So don’t you mess with me

[Chorus]
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the Hoochie Coochie Man
Everybody knows I’m him

[Outro]
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the Hoochie Coochie Man
The whole, the whole darn world knows we him

[Audience Applause]

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
