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 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
[Chorus:] 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 ja looka looka lookit alla 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
[Chorus:] 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 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
[Chorus:] 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 (2x)
