Lyrics:

(Sing, Michael, sing)
(On the route of the 19 bus)
(Hear them sayin')
How you get rude and a reckless?
Don't you be so crude and 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 I can't live in service
Like a doctor born for a purpose
Rudie can't fail

I went to the market to realize my soul
'Cause what I need, I just can't have
First, they curse, than they press me 'til I'm hurt
Rudie can't fail

Say you must cure your temper
Then you find a job in the paper
You need someone for a savior
Rudie can't fail, oh no

(We reply)
Now we get rude and a reckless
We been lookin' cool an' speckless
We been drinking brew for breakfast
Rudie can't fail (oh no)

I went to the market to realize my soul
'Cause what I need, I just can't have (no way)
First, they curse, than they press me 'til I'm hurt (Rudie)
Rudie can't fail

Rudie can't fail
Rudie can't fail

Are you happy with the trend?
Or would you rather see it end?
Lookin' pretty smart
In your father's old suit
Lookin' pretty hot (lookin' pretty hot)
Is that a pork pie hat?
Rudie

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