It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
And right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care, by the time I'm done
Let's have a ball and a biscuit sugar
And take our sweet little time about it
Let's have a ball girl
And take our sweet little time about it
Tell everybody in the place to just get out
And we'll get clean together
And I'll find me soapbox where I can shout it
Yeah
Read it in the newspaper
Ask your girlfriends and see if they know
Read it in the newspaper
Ask your girlfriends see if they know
That my strength is ten fold girl
I'll let you see if you want to before you go
Let's have a ball and a biscuit sugar
And take our sweet little time about it
Let's have a ball
And take our sweet little time about it
Tell everybody in the place to just get out
We'll get clean together
And I'll find me soapbox where I can shout it
Yeah I can think of one or two things to say about it
Ah listen
Yeah it's quite possible that I'm your third man
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
It was the other two which made me your third
But it was my mother who made me the seventh son
Right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care by the time I'm done
Just wait
Stick around
You'll figure it out
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
It's quite possible that I'm your third man girl
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
And right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care, by the time I'm done
Let's have a ball and a biscuit sugar
And take our sweet little time about it
Let's have a ball girl
And take our sweet little time about it
Tell everybody in the place to just get out
And we'll get clean together
And I'll find me soapbox where I can shout it
Yeah
Read it in the newspaper
Ask your girlfriends and see if they know
Read it in the newspaper
Ask your girlfriends see if they know
That my strength is ten fold girl
I'll let you see if you want to before you go
Let's have a ball and a biscuit sugar
And take our sweet little time about it
Let's have a ball
And take our sweet little time about it
Tell everybody in the place to just get out
We'll get clean together
And I'll find me soapbox where I can shout it
Yeah I can think of one or two things to say about it
Ah listen
Yeah it's quite possible that I'm your third man
But it's a fact that I'm the seventh son
It was the other two which made me your third
But it was my mother who made me the seventh son
Right now you could care less about me
But soon enough you will care by the time I'm done
Just wait
Stick around
You'll figure it out

The #7 means completion (by the time I'm done). The relationship of 7 is the 3rd son..
Just sayin'
"Tell everybody in the place to just get out
And we'll get clean together
And I'll find me soapbox where I can shout it "
I always wonder if the reference to 'getting clean' is actually about quitting drugs (or just stopping the party life). In order to do this, the speaker would have to get rid of people/places/things that they used/partied with ("tell everybody in the place to just get out"). Getting on the soapbox to shout about it would make sense, as the speaker would be proud of themselves -- and maybe acting a bit 'holier-than-thou' after getting their life cleaned up.
Just a random thought!
It's just a coincidence that Jack is also the seventh son, and being a worshiper of the blues he'd definitely slip it in.
Other than that, whether 'ball and biscuit' is a microphone name which the White Stripes tured dirty or not, this song is one hundred per cent sex. You don't even need the lyrics, you only need to hear that riff. It's a very very sexy riff.
Biscuit = food
Both necessary for survival as far as I'm concerned...great tune!
