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
And I'll speak throughout the masses in the media
And if you got anything to say to me, you can say it with cash

I got the trash, and you got the cash
So baby, we should get along fine
So gimme all your money, 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing?
Can't you see me smiling?

I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula hoop
I'm the man
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 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 at, look at, look at all the blood?
So gimme all your money, 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing?
Can't you see me smiling?
I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula hoop
I'm the man
The man that gave you the yo-yo

[Guitar solo]

Right now, I think I'm gonna start a new trend
Because the line on the graph's getting low
Well, we can't have that
And you think you're immune, but I can sell you anything
From a thin safety pin on through a pork pie hat

'Cause I got the trash, and you got the cash
So baby, we should get along fine
So gimme all your money, 'cause I know you think I'm funny
Can't you hear me laughing?
Can't you see me smiling?

I'm the man
I'm the man that gave you the hula hoop
I'm the man
The man that gave you the yo-yo

I'm the man
I'm the man
I'm the man
I'm the man
B-b-baby, I'm the man
I'm the man
I'm the man
I'm the man
