I'm The Man

Joe Jackson

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've got anything to say to me,
Say it with cash.

'Cause, I've got the trash and,
You've got the cash
So, baby we can get along fine.

Why don't you gimme all your money
'Cause I know you think I'm funny
'cause,
Can't you hear me laughing.
Can't you hear me shouting,
I'm The Man.
(I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man)
I'm the man when I'm playing with the hula-hoop.

I'm the man
(I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man)
I'm the man when I'm playing with 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 almost made them respectable,
You know I can't always get through to you,
So I go for your son.

I had a ginat rubber shark,
and it really amde the mark
Would you look at, look at, look at all the blood?

Why don't you gimme all your money
'Cause I know you think I'm funny
'cause,
Can't you hear me laughing.
Can't you hear me shouting,
I'm The Man.
(I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man)
I'm the man when I'm playing with the hula-hoop.

I'm the man
(I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man)
I'm the man when I'm playing with the Yo-Yo.

Right now,
I think I'm gonna start a new trend.
Because the line on the graph's getting low,
and we can't have that.

And if you think you're immune,
Well I can sell you anything.
Anything from a big saftey pin,
to a Pork-pie hat.

'Cause, I've got the trash and,
You've got the cash
So, baby we can get along fine.

Why don't you gimme all your money
'Cause I know you think I'm funny
'cause,
Can't you hear me laughing.
Can't you hear me shouting,
I'm The Man.
(I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man)
I'm the man when I'm playing with the hula-hoop.

I'm the man
(I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man)
I'm the man when I'm playing with the Yo-Yo.


I'm The Man.
(I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man)
I'm the man when I'm playing with the hula-hoop.

I'm the man
(I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man)
I'm the man when I'm playing with the Yo-Yo.


I'm the man...
(I'm The Man, I'm The Man, I'm The Man)


I'm the man
(That's Me!)
