Lyrics

[Intro]
La, la-la, la-la, la-la
La-la, la-la
[Verse 1]
Who is it
That walks the street with all the action
It's The Dude
Who is it
That always gets a hot reaction?
That's The Dude
[Verse 2]
Don't ya go makin'
No mojo moves
'Round The Dude
Don't try no funny business
Don't ya be coppin' no attitude
With The Dude
Hey, hey, here come The Dude
[Verse 3]
Hey everybody in the neighborhood
The Dude is on duty, better hear me good
Sister E-flat tomato, brother B-flat balloon
Something funky's going down, better listen to my tune
I graduated from the college of the streets
I got a PhD in how to make ends meet
Inflation in the nation don't bother me
'Cause I'm a scholar with a dollar, you can plainly see
[Chorus]
He's a winner 'cause it's in his blood
Ain't nobody who's out there like him
Any corner in the neighborhood
That's the place you can 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
[Verse 4]
Who is it
That ain't got time for foolish talkin'?
It's The Dude
Who is it
That looks so clean, you can't ignore him
That's The Dude
[Verse 5]
Don't ya go mess with
His walkin' stick
Not The Dude
Don't try no funny business
Don't you double-cross him
He's super slick
He's The Dude
Hey, hey, here comes The Dude
[Verse 6]
I'm a stone cold taker, I'm a piggy bank shaker
And 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
If you never had it, don't pay it no mind
I know you're gonna get it if you take a little time
Take a piece from the East, a piece from the West
Put it where it feels good, let The Dude do the rest
[Refrain]
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's The Dude
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's The Dude
[Refrain]
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's The Dude
See him steppin' down the street
No forgettin', he's The Dude
[Verse 7]
Don'tcha go makin'
No mojo moves
'Round The Dude
Don't try no funny business
Don'tcha be coppin' no attitude
With The Dude
Hey, hey, here comes The Dude
[Chorus]
He's a winner 'cause it's in his blood
Ain't nobody who's out there like him
Any corner in the neighborhood
That's the place you can always find him
Soft talkin' with a rap so sweet
He does it good
Ladies call him The Candy Rapper
Here comes The Dude
He's the only one that's really cool
He's really cool
That's the reason why he's The Dude
[Chorus]
He's a winner 'cause it's in his blood
Ain't nobody out there
Ain't nobody who's out there like him
Any corner in the neighborhood
You can find him in the neighborhood
That's the place that you'll find him
All the ladies call him
Soft talkin' with a rap so sweet
The Candy Rapper Man
Ladies call him The Candy Rapper
He's the only one that's really cool
He's so cool
That's the reason why he's The Dude
That's why he's The Dude
[Outro]
Ain't nobody like him
Got the style that all the ladies love
Whoa
Talkin' 'bout The Dude, y'all
