I Out-Duked the Duke Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, I
I have stopped
When the duke come around, uh-huh
I eat in to
I took it
His best deal, uh-huh
While he was out bragging
What he had done
I copped his girl
And away we run
Whoa, whoa!
Cause I stopped
When the duke come around

[Verse 2]
I-I-I-I-I-I made the duke
The duke hang up is his game, uh-huh
I-I-I-I-I-I made the duke
Want to change his name
Whoa, yeah
Caught me out with the dutches
Instead of a cane
He uses his crutches
Whoa, whoa!
I out-duked the duke around

[Verse 3]
Now let me tell y'all
The duke with all he knew
Oh, just where was I
Until I lowered
I lowered his top hat
Whoa, yeah
I took his monocle
If [?]
I took his teeth
And made myself a rug
Whoa, whoa!
Cause I out-duked the duke of earl

[Verse 4]
Now let me tell y'all
The moral of the story everybody should know
Don't be boasting
A-boasting everywhere you go
Whoa, yeah
You don't have to be great
To live in this world
You don't have to be a king
To stop the duke, oh no
Whoa, whoa!
Cause I stopped the duke of all
