Hey! Hey! Listen up, world — the roof is talkin’
I’m the hoochie coochie man, steppin’ out tonight
Mojo in my pocket, everything feelin’ right
Ladies on the corner do a double-take glance
I got that voodoo rhythm makin’ everybody dance
Climbin’ up the fire escape, heart beatin’ like a drum
Gonna tell the whole city what’s comin’ — here I come!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady, baby — don’t you ever stop!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady! Rock steady! Let the good times pop
Up on the rooftop, wind blowin’ through my hair
I’m hollerin’ loud so the whole block can hear
“No more hidin’, no more playin’ it cool
The hoochie coochie man’s bringin’ the rule!”
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady, baby — don’t you ever stop!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady! Rock steady! Let the good times pop!
Rock steady! (Rock steady!)
Hoochie coochie! (Hoochie coochie!)
Shout it loud! (Shout it loud!)
From the rooftop now! (From the rooftop now!)
Steady… steady… bouncy… bouncy…
Down on the street the whole crowd’s movin’ feet
My rooftop shout got everybody in the beat
Steady as a rock but bouncin’ like the sea
Hoochie coochie rhythm — come and dance with me
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady, baby — don’t you ever stop!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady! Rock steady! Now the whole world hop
Hoochie… coochie… rock steady…
Shout it from the rooftop…
(Horns riff out)
Yeah, yeah, YEAH! Sing it loud, dance it bouncy, and keep it rock steadyHey-hey-hey! Up on the roof, world — feel that bounce comin’
I’m the hoochie coochie man, feet barely touch the ground
Mojo in my pocket makin’ the whole town bounce around
Ladies see me comin’, they do a little shimmy-shake
Got that voodoo rhythm — watch the sidewalk vibrate
Climbin’ every rung, heart goin’ boom-boom-bap
Gonna shout it loud so the sky can clap-clap-clap!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady, baby — bounce it, don’t you stop!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady! Rock steady! Let the whole block hop-hop-hop!
(Hey! Hey! Bounce! Bounce
Rooftop king, wind whistlin’ in my ear
Hollerin’ so loud the pigeons disappear
No more low-key, no more keepin’ it tame
Hoochie coochie comin’ — puttin’ the bounce in the game!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady, baby — bounce it, don’t you stop!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady! Rock steady! Let the whole block hop-hop-hop!
(Whoa-oh! Bounce! Bounce! Skank it!)
Rock steady! (Rock steady!)
Hoochie coochie! (Hoochie coochie!)
Shout it high! (Shout it high!)
Bounce it sky-high! (Bounce it sky-high!)
Street below is jumpin’, crowd catchin’ the wave
My rooftop shout got the whole city misbehaved
Steady like a rock but bouncin’ like a trampoline
Hoochie coochie rhythm — come on, join the scene!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady, baby — bounce it, don’t you stop!
Hoochie coochie man! Shoutin’ from the rooftop!
Rock steady! Rock steady! Now the whole world won’t stop!
(Hey! Hey! Bounce! Bounce! YEAH!
Hoochie… coochie… rock steady bounce…
Shout it from the rooftop… keep it bouncin’…
YEAH-YEAH-YEAH!
