sing, michael, sing
On the route of the 19 bus
We hear them sayin’
How you get a rude and a reckless?
Don’t you be so crude and a feckless
You been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can’t fail
No no
We reply
"I know that my life make you nervous
But I tell you that I can’t live in service
Like the doctor who's born for a purpose
Rudie can’t fail
Oh no
I went to the market to realise my soul
’cause what I need I just don’t have
First they curse, then they press me till I hurt
We say rudie can’t fail
We hear them sayin’
Now first you must cure your temper
Then you find a job in the paper
You need someone for a saviour
Oh, rudie can’t fail
We reply
Now we get a rude and a reckless
We been seen lookin’ cool an’ a speckless
We been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can’t fail
Oh no no
I went to the market to realise my soul
’cause what I need I just don’t have
First they curse, then they press me till I hurt
Rudie can’t fail
Okay!
So where you wanna go today?
Hey boss man!
You’re looking pretty smart
With your chicken skin suit
You think you’re pretty hot
In your pork pie hat
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
