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 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 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 ya lookit lookit lookit all the blood
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 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 that gave you the yo-yo
