Now when I was a little boy, 
at the age of five 
I had somethin' in my pocket, 
keep a lot of folks alive 
Now I'm a man, 
made twenty-one 
You know baby, 
we can have a lot of fun 
I'm a man, 
I spell M-A-N, man 
All you pretty women, 
stand in line 
I can make love to you baby, 
in an hour's time 
I'm a man, 
I spell M-A-N, man 
I goin' back down, 
to Kansas Stew 
Bring back the second cousin, 
Little Johnny the cocheroo 
I'm a man, 
I spell M-A-N, man 
The line I shoot, 
will never miss 
The way I make love to 'em, 
they can't resist 
I'm a man, 
I spell M-A-N, man
