[Intro]
Sing, Michael, sing
On the route of the 19 bus
We hear them sayin'
[Verse 1]
How ya get a-rude and a-reckless?
Don't you be so crude and a-feckless
You've been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail, no, no
[Verse 2]
We reply
I know that my life make you nervous
But I tell you I can't live in service
Like a doctor who was born for a purpose
Rudie can't fail
Okay
[Chorus]
I went to the market to realise my soul
What I need I just don't have (Oh no)
First they curse, then they press me till I hurt (He say)
Rudie can't fail
[Verse 3]
First you must cure your temper
Then find a job in a paper
Then you need someone for a savior
Rudie can't fail
[Verse 4]
We reply
Now we get a-rude and a-reckless
If he's been looking cool and speckless
We've been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail, oh no, no
[Chorus]
I went to the market to realise my soul
'Cause what I need I just don't have (Have)
First they curse, then they press me till I hurt
Rudie can't fail
[Bridge]
Okay, okay
So, where you wanna go today?
Hey, boss man
So you're looking pretty smart (Chicken skin suit)
With your chicken skin suit
You think you're pretty hot (Pork pie hat)
In the pork pie hat, but
Look out
[Outro]
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
[Outro]
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
[Outro]
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail
