lyrics

This is the story of a man,
But he's not really a man.
He's just a playboy with a nice suntan.
He's got a cushy job,
From his Dad's brother, Bob,
But still he thinks that he's somehow robbed.
Then it happened one day,
Uncle Bob came to say,
The board has voted, you cannot stay.
Tell your father that I'm sorry.
Hope he'll understand,
But now you know just who's the man.

Chorus:
It ain't you, no oh.
It ain't you, no oh.
It ain't you. It ain't you.

This is the story of a cop,
Who pushed his way to the top,
But didn't know quite where to stop.
He liked to brandish his gun.
He once roughed up a nun,
Arresting teenagers just for fun.
Then it happened one day,
The chief came to say,
You've been suspended without pay.
Tell the judge that you're sorry.
Hope she'll understand,
But now you know just who's the man.
