I’m the Face Lyrics
[Chorus]
I'm the face baby, is that clear
I'm the face baby, is that clear
I'm the face if you want it
I'm the face if you want it, dear
All the others are third class tickets by me, baby, is that clear
[Verse 1]
I'm the big wheel baby
Won't you roll with me
I'm the big wheel baby
Won't you roll with me
So many cats down the scene, honey
Little hard to see
{Harmonica solo}
{Guitar solo}
[Verse 2]
Wear ivy league jackets
White buckskin shoes
I wear ivy league jackets
White buckskin shoes
So many tickets down the scene honey
They're like to blow a fuse
I'm the face baby, is that clear
I'm the face baby, is that clear
I'm the face if you want it
I'm the face if you want it, dear
All the others are third class tickets by me, baby, is that clear
[Verse 1]
I'm the big wheel baby
Won't you roll with me
I'm the big wheel baby
Won't you roll with me
So many cats down the scene, honey
Little hard to see
{Harmonica solo}
{Guitar solo}
[Verse 2]
Wear ivy league jackets
White buckskin shoes
I wear ivy league jackets
White buckskin shoes
So many tickets down the scene honey
They're like to blow a fuse
[Chorus]

Genius Annotation
This was originally released as the B-side of “Zoot Suit,” a 1964 single by the High Numbers, a name the Who briefly used. It borrows from the tune of “Got Love If You Want It” by Slim Harpo, and the lyrics are a high-testosterone dictionary of Mod slang.
