Pretty soon now
 You know I'm gonna make [bad word] 
 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 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 [bad word] shark and it really made a mark
 Did ya lookit lookit lookit all the blood
 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 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 that gave you the yo-yo
