Im The Man
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics

Pretty soon now
I will soon make a triumphant return

You know I'm gonna make a comeback
It's inevitable that I will make a comeback

And like the birds and the bees in the trees
My return is sure to be successful

It's a sure-fire smash
My return will be a guaranteed hit

I'll speak to the masses through the media
I will use the media to reach a large audience

And if you got anything to say to me
If you have anything to say to me

You can say it with cash
You can bribe me with money

'Cause I got the trash and you got the cash
I have the ideas, and you have the money to finance them

So baby we should get along fine
We will have a good working relationship

So give me all your money
I want all your money

'Cause I know you think I'm funny
You find me entertaining

Can't you hear me laughing, can't you see me smile
I am very pleased with myself

I'm the man
I am powerful and influential

(I'm the man, I'm the man, I'm the man)
I am the one in control

I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I am responsible for popularizing the hula-hoop

I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo
I am responsible for popularizing the yo-yo

Kung Fu, that was one of my good ones
I had success with promoting Kung Fu

And what's a few broken bones
The risks of Kung Fu are worth it

When we all know it's good clean fun
Kung Fu is harmless entertainment

Skateboards, I've almost made them respectable
I have worked to make skateboards more socially acceptable

You see I can't always get through to you
Not everyone understands my ideas

So I go for your son
I target a younger demographic

I had a giant rubber shark and it really made a mark
I had a successful marketing campaign for a rubber shark toy

Did ya look a look a look it all the blood
It was a scary and attention-grabbing toy

Right now, I think I'm gonna plan a new trend
I am currently brainstorming a new idea

Because the line on the graph's getting low
My success is decreasing and I need a new idea to boost it

And you think you're immune
You think you are impervious to my influence

But I can sell you anything
I have the power to persuade you to buy anything

Anything from a thin safety pin to a pork pie hat
I can sell you anything, from small items to larger ones

Why don't you give me all your money
I demand all of your money

I'm the man that gave you the hula-hoop
I am responsible for the hula-hoop's popularity

I'm the man that gave you the yo-yo
I am responsible for the yo-yo's popularity

Well, I'm the man, man, man, man, man, man, man
I am powerful and influential, repeating it for emphasis

Man, man, man, man, man, man, man
Repeating the emphasis on my power and influence

I'm the man, man, man, man, man, man, man
Repeating that I am powerful and influential
