That walks the street with all the action?
That always gets a hot reaction?
Don'tcha' go makin no mojo moves
(Don't try no funny bizness.)
Don'tcha' be coppin no attitude
(Hey, hey, here comes The Dude)
Hey everybody in the neighborhood,
The beauty's on duty, better hear me good
Sister E-flat tomato, Brother B-flat balloon,
Somethin' funky's goin' down, better listen to my tune
I graduated from the college of the street
I got a P.H.D. in how to make ends meet
Inflation in the nation don't bother me,
'Cause I'm a scholar with a dollar
He's a winner 'cause it's in his blood
Ain't nobody whose out there like him
Any corner in the neighborhood,
That's the place that you'll always find him
Soft talkin' with a rap so sweet,
Ladies call him The Candy Rapper
He's the only one that's really cool
That's the reason why he's The Dude
That ain't got time for foolish talkin'?
That looks so clean you can't ignore him
His walkin' stick— not The Dude
(Don't try no funny bizness)
Don't you double-cross him
He's super slick— He's The Dude
(Hey, hey, here come The Dude)
An' I don't waste my time talkin' trash
So if you go to my school,
You gotta learn this rule —
Don't let your mouth write a check
That your body can't cash
I know you're gonna get it,
If you take a little time
Take a piece from the East,
Put it where it feels good —
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's The Dude
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's The Dude
