I want to know your Dubious Talents
I can stick both of my big toes straight up and then bend them in half.

What can you do?

13. I'm a Hootchie-Cootchie man! I'm spelled "M.....A.....N"
(ok, with apologies to Muddy Waters....)

Ooooooh, yeah, ooh, yeah

Everythin', everythin', everythin's gonna be alright this mornin'
Ooh yeah, whoaw
Now when I was a young boy, at the age of five
My mother said I was, gonna be the greatest man alive
But now I'm a man, way past 21
Want you to believe me baby,
I had lot's of fun
I'm a man
I spell mmm, aaa child, nnn
That represents man
No B, O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
I'm a man
I'm a full grown man
I'm a man
I'm a natural born lovers man
I'm a man
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a man
I'm a hoochie coochie man

Sittin' on the outside, just me and my mate
You know I'm made to move you honey,
come up two hours late
Wasn't that a man
I spell mmm, aaa child, nnn
That represents man
No B, O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
I'm a man
I'm a full grown man
Man
I'm a natural born lovers man
Man
I'm a rollin' stone
Man-child
I'm a hoochie coochie man
The line I shoot will never miss
When I make love to a woman,
she can't resist
I think I go down,
to old Kansas Stew
I'm gonna bring back my second cousin,
that little Johnny Cocheroo
All you little girls,
sittin'out at that line
I can make love to you woman,
in five minutes time
Ain't that a man
I spell mmm, aaa child, nnn
That represents man
No B, O child, Y
That mean mannish boy
Man
I'm a full grown man
Man
I'm a natural born lovers man
Man
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a man-child
I'm a hoochie coochie man
well, well, well, well
hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Don't hurt me, don't hurt me child
don't hurt me, don't hurt, don't hurt me child
well, well, well, well

14. Actually, you're a Mannish Boy
If you were a Hoochie Coochie man, then the Gypsy woman'd tell your mother, before you were born, that she had a boy child comin' whose gonna be a sonofagun.

Even so, do you make pretty wimmens jump and shout? So the world wanna know what this all about?

29. yes! I saw him play both!
at the old Union Bar in n.e. mpls.

19. I tried to teach myself to wiggle my ears by the same method I used
to bend my toes - it didn't work. I don't think I was drunk enough.
