I'M THE MAN
Joe Jackson

            
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 throught 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
Didja looka looka lookit alla blood
Give me all your money etc.

CHORUS

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 etc.

CHORUS
