Sing Micheal sing, up on the route of the 19 bus
We're only saying..........
How you get so rude and reckless
Don't you be so crude and feckless
You've been drinking brew for breakfast

I know that my life makes you nervous
But I tell you I can't live in service
Like a doctor born for a purpose
Rudie Can't fail
