The Man
Lyrics
The Man
(sung by Berkeley Boy Jim)
Here comes the man with a gun in his hand
And you don’t know what he’ll do
Step aside and do as he says or he’ll come after you
Cause he’s the man
He’s the man
Don’t you know he’s the man
He’s the man
The man doesn’t know what it’s all about
And he just don’t give a damn
He knows what’s right and he does what’s right
‘Cause he – he’s the man.
He’s the man
He’s the man
Don’t you know he’s the man
He’s the man
He’s the man
Doing what he can
He’s the man doing what he can
People who know what’s going on are going to stay out of sight
They know it’s hot and you can be sure
That the man’s on the prowl tonight
‘Cause he’s the man
He’s the man
Don’t you know he’s the man
He’s the man
He’s the man
Doing what he can
He’s the man doing what he can
