Lyrics: 
 
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!
