Sing, Michael, sing-on the route of the 19 Bus
|
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
|
|
So 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 was born for a purpose (*)
|
Rudie can't fail
|
|
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
|
So Rudie can't fail
|
|
Okay!
|
So where you wanna go today?
|
Hey boss man!
|
You're looking pretty smart
|
In your chicken skin suit
|
|
You think you're pretty hot
|
In your pork pie hat
|
But...Rudie can't fail
|
Look out, look out...
|
Sky juice!...10 cents a bottle!
