Now you're a creature A primitive soul You don't know your left from your right You're lost in the dark You need a spark To lead you into the light I'll be that guide I'll be by your side I'll pull you out of the mire You'll be the greatest creation of man Since the invention of fire! You will walk You will talk Ev'rybody will gawk At the man about town! From the start You'll be smart You will break every heart You're the man About town And I know When you open that door You'll be cheered, never feared evermore! Raise your eyes to the skies There's no holding you down You won't be a flash in the pan You're the man You're the man about town! Though you feel like a beast in a cage Stick with me And you'll be On the stage! Throw your hat in the ring They might make you a king And you'll trade that hat for a crown You're the man You're the man about town
