Lyrics I'm the Man - Joe Jackson

Pretty soon now, you know I'm gonna make a comeback
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
It's a sure-fire smash

I'll speak, to the masses through the media
And if you got anything to say to me
You can say it with cash

'Cause I've got the trash, and you got the cash
So baby, we should get along fine
So give me all your money, 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing, can't you see me smile?

I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Kung fu, that was one of my good ones
Well, what's a few broken bones
When we all know it's good, clean fun?
Skateboards, I've almost made them respectable
You see, I can't always get through to you, so I go for your son

I had a giant rubber shark, and it really made a mark
Did you look-a, look-a, lookit all the blood?
So give me all your money, 'cause I know you think I'm funny, yeah
Can't you hear me laughing? Can't you see me smile?

I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

Right now, I think I'm gonna plan a new trend
Because the line on the graph's getting low
And we can't have that
And you think you're immune, but I can sell you anything
Anything from a thin safety pin, to a pork pie hat

'Cause I got the trash, and you got the cash
So baby, we should get along fine
Why don't you give me all your money, 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing? Can't you see me smile?

I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo

I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man), yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man), yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man), yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm the man, yeah, that's me
