Lyrics - I'm The Man by Joe Jackson

Joe
Jackson
I'm
The
Manfrom "
I'm the
Man"
Pretty soon now
Y'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
CHORUSI'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
Didja looka looka lookit alla blood
Give me all your money etc.
CHORUSRight 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 etc.
CHORUS
