Warren William Zevon (January 24, 1947 – September 7, 2003), born in Chicago, Illinois, was a rock and roll musician and songwriter. He was noted for his offbeat, sardonic view of life which was reflected in his dark, sometimes humorous songs, which often incorporated political or historical themes. He was born to a Russian Jewish father and a Mormon mother and soon moved to California. At the age of 12/13, Warren Zevon was a regular visitor to the home of Igor Stravinsky where he, along with Robert Craft, would study music. He turned to a musical career early, including a stretch as part of a Sonny and Cher-type male/female duo called Lyme and Cybelle, and spent time as a session musician (notably as piano player for the Everly Brothers) and jingle composer.

Mannish Boy Lyrics
Warren Zevon
When I was a little boy
About the age of five
My Mama told me
I'd be the greatest thing alive
Now I'm a man
Way past twenty-one
Come on with me honey
We'll have lots of fun
I said MMM, AAAA,child, NNN
That represent man
That indicate I'm grown
But when I say "waaaannnngggggg"
That mean mannish boy
I see that woman
Standin' in that light
I'll make love to ya baby
For three hours tight
What nother man?
And when I shoots
Won't never miss
Make love to your cousin
She can't resist
I said, "MMM, AAA, child, NNN
That indicate "Man"
When I say "waaannnnggg"
That mean mannish boy
I'm a man
Hoochi Koochi man
Natural born lover's man
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a rollin' stone
Well I'm going down To Kansas soon
Bring back my second cousin Little John the Conkeroo
I say "MMM, AAA, child, NNN"
That indicate I'm grown
I'm a man
Hoochi Koochi man
Natural born lover's man
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a rollin' stone
I'm a rollin' stone
