Well 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 was born for a purpose
Rudie can't fail"

Okay, I went to the market to realize my soul
What I need, I just don't have
First they curse, then they press me till I hurt
I say, "Rudie can't fail"

First you must cure your temper
Then you find a job in the paper
And need someone for a savior
Oh, Rudie can't fail

We reply, "Now we get a rude and a reckless
We been seen lookin' cool an' speckless
We been drinking brew for breakfast
So, Rudie can't fail"

I went to the market to realize 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, okay, so where you wanna go today?
Hey boss man, yeah
You're looking pretty smart
In your chicken skin suit

You think you're pretty hot
In your pork pie hat
But, look out, look out
Sky juice, 10 cents a bottle

Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
