Macho man
The Village People Lyrics

(Body) body
Let's start talking about my body

(Wanna feel my body?) Wanna feel my body?
Do you want to experience the sensation of touching my body?

(Body) baby
My body is the focus here, baby

(Such a thrill, my body) such a thrill, my body
My body is thrilling in every aspect

(Body) yeah, yeah
Yes, let's continue talking about my body

(Wanna touch my body?) Wanna touch my body?
How about you get a feel of my body?

(It's too much, my body) it's too much, my body
My body is overwhelming in its appeal and beauty

(Check it out, my body) check it out, my body
Take a look at my body, it's worth admiring

(Don't you doubt my body) don't you doubt my body
My body is everything that I say it is, don't question it!

(Talkin' 'bout my body) talkin' 'bout my body
Let's have a conversation about my body

(Body) well
Again, let's talk about my body

(Check it out, my body) listen, here
Pay attention, because my body is a sight to see

Every man wants to be a macho, macho man
Every man aspires to have the physical attributes of a macho man

To have the kind of body, always in demand
The kind of body that is always admired and sought after

Jogging in the mornings, go, man, go
Exercising early in the day, to build up one's body

Workouts in the health spa, muscles glow
Going to the gym, where muscles shine and sweat makes them glisten

You can best believe that he's a macho man
You can trust that a man with such physical attributes is indeed a macho man

Ready to get down with anyone he can
Ready and willing to engage in any physical activity with anyone who is interested

(Hey, hey)
Just a shout out to the listener

(Hey, hey, hey)
Again, just a shout out

(Macho, macho man) macho man, yeah
Asserting one's identity as a macho man, with pride

(I've got to be a macho man)
Repeating the affirmation of being a macho man

I've got to be a macho, macho man, yeah
I need to have the physical attributes of a macho man, that's my goal

I've got to be a macho, ow
Ow, this ambition to be a macho man is so strong!

Macho, macho man, yeah
Reiterating one's aspiration to be a macho man

I've got to be a macho man
Once more, reiterating the desire to be a macho man

Macho, macho man, hey, hey
Still on the topic of being a macho man

(It's so hot, my body) it's so hot, my body
My body is so attractive that it is 'hot'

(Love to pop my body) love to pop my body
I enjoy showing off and flexing my muscles

(Love to please my body) love to please my body
I take great pleasure in taking care of my body and making it look good

(Don't you tease my body) don't you tease my body
Stop teasing me and let me enjoy my body in peace

(Body) yeah
Again, let's talk about my body

(You'll adore my body) you'll adore my body
I'm confident that everyone will admire and worship my body

(Come explore my body) come explore my body
I extend an invitation to inspect and enjoy my body

(Made by God, my body) made by God, my body
I attribute the creation of my body to a higher power, possibly for added reverence

(It's so good, my body) hey
My body is amazing, no doubt about it!

You can tell a macho, he has a funky walk
One can identify a macho man by the way he walks

His western shirts and leather always look so boss
A macho man always looks fashionable in his western-style clothing and leather items

Funky with his body, he's a king
A macho man has an air of confidence and self-assurance about him, like a king

Call him Mister Eagle, dig his chains
A macho man often has the nickname 'Mister Eagle', and wears flashy chains to show off his wealth

He likes to be the leader, he never dresses grand
A macho man takes a leadership role, but is modest in his attire

I'm a man
The entire song has been about asserting my masculinity, so this line needs no explanation

Every man oughta be a macho, macho man
Reiterating the importance of attaining the physical characteristics of a macho man

To live a life of freedom, machos make a stand
Macho men can enjoy life in a way that others cannot, and are decisive in their decisions

Have their own lifestyle and ideals
Macho men live by their own set of standards and values, separate from the norm

Possess the strength and confidence, life's a steal
Their strength and confidence make them successful in all aspects of life

He's a special person in anybody's land
A macho man is unique and special no matter where he goes

Dig the hair on my chest
Here's another physical attribute that macho men take pride in

(Macho, macho man) yeah
End the song with one last affirmation of being a macho man

I said dig my big thick mustache
Yet another physical attribute that macho men feel adds to their masculinity

(I've got to be a macho man) alright
Repeating the mantra one last time

Dig broad shoulders, oh, yeah
It's all about one's physique when it comes to being a macho man

(Macho, macho man)
One quick reminder that being macho is what it's all about

Talkin' 'bout a mucho, mucho, macho, macho man
The chorus has been modified to include the word 'mucho', which means 'very', for added emphasis

(I've got to be a macho) hey
Final repetition of the affirmation and song title, then the song ends
