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
I'll speak
A E
To the masses throught 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
