Gypsy woman told my momma, before I was born You got a boy-child comin', gonna be a son-of-a-gun Gonna make these pretty women, jump and shout And the world will only know, a-what it's all about
Y'know I'm here Everybody knows I'm here And I'm the hoochie-coochie man Everybody knows I'm here
On the seventh hour, of the seventh day, on the seventh month, the seventh doctor said: "He's born for good luck, and I know you see; Got seven hundred dollars, and don't you mess with me
Y'know I'm here Everybody knows I'm here And I'm the hoochie-coochie man Everybody knows I'm here
Gypsy woman told my momma Said "Ooh, what a boy, he gonna make so many women, jump and shout for joy"
Y'know I'm here Everybody knows I'm here And I'm the hoochie-coochie man Everybody knows I'm here
Gypsy woman told my momma, before I was born You got a boy-child comin', gonna be a son-of-a-gun Gonna make these pretty women, jump and shout And the world will only know, a-what it's all about
Y'know I'm here Everybody knows I'm here And I'm the hoochie-coochie man Everybody knows I'm here
I got a black cat bone, I got a mojo too I got John the Conqueror, I'm gonna mess with you I'm gonna make you, pretty girl, lead me by the hand Then the world will know, the Hoochie-Coochie Man

Hoochie Coochie Man was written by Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon and was one of the few blues songs that spanned the entire Doors career. Like Close To You they played it at their early London Fog days to expand their set and it was also played (along with Close To You) during their 1972 European tour. Both Morrison and Manzarek were huge Muddy Waters fans and the blues featured heavily in early Doors sets until they were able to introduce the new material Jim was writing and that Robby began to add to. It is surprising that considering The Doors are thought of as one of the finest exponents of Acid Rock the band always had a blues heart with all 4 Doors fans of blues music. They would turn Full Circle and finish their career as a quartet with two blues albums and a bluesy tour. The influence the blues had on The Doors is for all to hear in every album they did including Psychedelic Classics like the first two. Muddy Waters - Hoochie Coochie Man
