Lyrics

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

I'm goin' back down

To kansas to

Bring back the second cousin

Little John the conqueroo

I'm a man

I spell M

The line I shoot

Will never miss

The way I make love to 'em

They can't resist
