I'M THE MAN
Joe Jackson

            E
Pretty soon now
                         A   E
Y'know I'm gonna make a comeback
              D             A           E
And like the birds and the bees in the trees
                  B    Am
It's a sure-fire smash
       E                                A   E
I'll speak... to the masses through the media
                  D         A     E
And if you got anything to say to me
                     B
You can say it with cash
C#m               A       C#m           A
'cause I got the trash and you got the cash
E                           B
so baby we should get along fine
C#m                   A            C#m                 A
so give me all your money 'cause I know you think I'm funny
B
Can't you hear me laughing
  D               A
Can't you see me smile

CHORUS:
         E            A            D           A
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
         E        A            D    A
I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
         E            A            D            A
I'm the man (I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
         E         A           D
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]
