Joe Jackson - I'm the Man Lyrics

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've got anything to say to me you can say it with cash

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

I'm the man I'm the man
Who gave you the hula hoop
I'm the man I'm the man
That gave you the yo yo

Kung fu, oh 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 have a giant rubber shark and it really made a mark
Did you looka looka look it all the blood?
So give me all your money 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Well can't you hear me laughing? Can't you see me smile?

I'm the man I'm the man
Who gave you the hula hoop
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 pork pie hat

'Cause I've got the trash and you've 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
Who gave you the hula hoop
I'm the man I'm the man
That gave you the yo yo

I'm the man I'm the man
Who gave you the hula hoop
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
