The Dude

Composed by：Patti Austin/Quincy Jones/Rod Temperton

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

Don'tcha' go making no mojo moves

'Round the Dude

Don't try no funny business

Don'tcha' be copping no attitude

With the Dude

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

You can plainly see

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

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

Don'tcha' 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 come the Dude

I'm a stone cold taker

I'm a piggy bank shaker

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

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

He does it good

They want his love

He's really cool

See him steppin' down the street

No forgettin' he's the Dude

See him steppin' down the street

No forgettin' he's the Dude

See him steppin' down the street

No forgettin' he's the Dude

See him steppin' down the street

No forgettin' he's the Dude

Don'tcha' go making no mojo moves

'Round the Dude

Don't try no funny business

Don'tcha' be copping no attitude

With the Dude

Hey hey here comes the Dude

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

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
