Lyrics Joe Jackson – I’m The Man

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, yeah
Can’t you hear me laughing
Can’t you see me smile

I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the hula hoop
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the yo-yo

Kung fu, well 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 looka looka look it 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 that 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 a pork pie hat

‘Cause I’ve 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, yeah
Can’t you hear me laughing
Can’t you see me smile

I’m the man
I’m the man that 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 that gave you the hula hoop
I’m the man
I’m the man that gave you the yo-yo
