Mannish Boy (Rehearsals: Takes 1-7) Songtext
von Jimi Hendrix

Oh yeah
Ooh
Everything′s gonna be alright this morning
Alright

Hey, when I was a young boy
At the age of five
I have fever in my pockets
Keep a lot of folk alive
Now I'm a man, I made twenty-one
You know baby, we have whole lots of fun
Because I′m a man, spell them
Hey child, man boy
And be, oh why?
Now representing daddy's boy
Like a rolling stone

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, ooh doo doo ooh ooh ooh
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, ooh ooh oohooh ooh ooh ooh ooh


Now, all you pretty women
Standing around
I'll make love to you, baby
And all this time
The line I shoot
Will never miss
See the way I make love to you
You just can′t resist
′Cause I'm a man
Girl, I′m a man
Man child
Man boy
And I represent man
Come around to the beat
Oh I, I said daddy's boy

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Yeah, ′cause I'm a man
′Cause I'm a man, baby
Yeah I'm a man, baby
No child


Stand on the side
With me and my maid
We made the moon, honey
Came up to ours, babe
Now my baby′s standing
The beat in our hand
Say oh baby, uh huh
You′re my desire
'Cause I′m a man
Real man
Man child, baby
Man boy
I represent man
Be old
Why child?
I represent this mannish boy

Hey, 'cause I′m a man
I said I'm a man
Yeah I′m a man
Said I'm a man
