(Ellas McDaniel (better known as Bo Diddley) (1955))
Note: Many different recordings of the song exist, each with differing lyrics. I have tried to collate the important lyrics here - inevitably some lines will be missed out, and the order of verses changed. The studio version consists solely of the middle three verses. Other recordings, in particular the 'Five Live Yardbirds' and the BBC sessions versions, start with the first verse and also include the last verse (both in '{ }' braces).
{
Now when I was a little boy,
At the age of five,
I had somethin' in my pocket,
Kept a lot of folks alive.
Now I'm a man,
I spell M-A-N...man.
}
All you pretty women,
Stand in line,
I can make love to you baby,
In an hour's time.
Now i'm a man
I spell M-A-N...man.
The line I shoot,
Will never miss,
Make love to you baby,
You can't resist.
Now I'm a man,
I spell M-A-N...man.
Goin back down,
To Kansas to,
Bring back a little girl,
Just like you.
Now I'm a man,
I spell M-A-N...man.
{
Now I'm a man,
Made twenty-one,
You know baby,
We can have a lot of fun.
I'm a man,
I spell M-A-N...man.

The Yardbirds are perhaps more famous as a launchpad for three top guitarists than they are for their own music: Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck were all Yardbirds before their careers hit later heights. After building a reputation as a hot new London blues band, Clapton left in disgust when "For Your Love" charted on both sides of the Atlantic: he was outraged that the group should release pop music. Beck replaced him and quickly established himself as one of the most exciting blues guitarists around, showcased on Roger The Engineer (1966). Page then agreed to join, initially on bass guitar before switching to shared-lead with Beck. Their dual guitar assaults were powerful and mesmerising, but they only recorded a handful of tracks featuring both guitarists before Beck left the group just four months after Page had joined. Through 1967, the Yardbirds struggled to continue. Although their live shows were still thrillingly experimental, their singles were poor and didn't succeed commercially. There were also drug problems and musical differences, leading to most members giving up on the group in 1968. Only Jimmy Page remained, and he recruited unknowns Robert Plant, John Bonham and John Paul Jones to go on tour as The New Yardbirds. The foursome worked so well together that they dropped the name to start afresh - and the New Yardbirds became Led Zeppelin.
