[Verse 1]
Pretty Esoon now
Y'know I'm gonna make a cAomebEack
And like the bDirds and the bAees in the tErees
It's a sure-fire sBmashA  
I'll spEeak
To the masses through the mAediEa
And if you gDot anytAhing to say to Eme
You can say it with cBash
'Cause C#mI got the tArash and C#myou got the cAash
so Ebaby we should get along Bfine
So C#mgive me all your mAoney 'cause I C#mknow you think I'm fAunny
BCan't you hear me laughing
DCan't you see me smile
[Chorus]
I'm the Eman (I'm the Aman, I'm the Dman, I'm the Aman)
I'm the Eman that Agave you the Dhula-hoopA

I'm the Eman that Agave you the Dyo-yo

When we aEll know it's good clean fBunA  
ESkateboards
I've almost made them rAespectaEble
You see I Dcan't always gAet through to Eyou

I had a C#mgiant rubber sAhark and it C#mreally made a Amark
Did you Elook at, look at, look at all that Bblood
So C#mgive me all your mAoney 'cause I C#mknow you think I'm fAunny

Right Enow
I think I'm gonna plan a Anew Etrend
Because the Dline on the gAraph's getting lEow
And we can't have BthatA  
And you tEhink you're immune
But I can sell you AanythEing
AnytDhing from a tAhin safety Epin
To a pork pie Bhat
'Cause C#mI got the tArash and C#myou got the cAash
so Ebaby we should get along Bfine
Why don't you C#mgive me all your mAoney 'cause I C#mknow you think I'm fAunny

I'm the Eman that Agave you the Dyo-yo
I'm the Eman (I'm the Aman, I'm the Dman, I'm the Aman)
