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, 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
