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 throughout 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

I'm the man

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

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

'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 that gave you the hula-hoop

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

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 that gave you the hula-hoop

I'm the man

I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo
