Lyrics
(Ellas mcdaniel (better known as bo diddley) (1955)) Note: many different recordings of the song exist, each with differing lyrics. I have tried to collate the important lyrics here - inevitably some lines will be missed out, and the order of verses changed. the studio version consists solely of the middle three verses. other recordings, in particular the 'five live yardbirds' and the bbc sessions versions, start with the first verse and also include the last verse (both in '{ }' braces)
{ Now when I was a little boy At the age of five I had somethin' in my pocket Kept a lot of folks alive Now 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 Now I'm a man I spell m-a-n...man
The line I shoot Will never miss Make love to you baby You can't resist Now I'm a man I spell m-a-n...man
Goin back down To kansas to Bring back a little girl Just like you Now I'm a man I spell m-a-n...man
{ 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 }
