Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The rude boy train is comin' now
The rude boy train is comin' now
[Verse 2]
The rude boy boat is comin' now
The rude boy boat is comin' now
[Verse 3]
The rude boy plane is comin' now
The rude boy plane is comin' now
[Verse 4]
Rude boy, get up a circuit chart
Rude boy, get up a circuit chart
[Verse 5]
Rude boy a-loot and a-shoot and I will
Rude boy a-loot and a-shoot and I will
[Verse 6]
007 is back on the scene
007 is back on the scene
[Verse 7]
The rude boy plane is comin' now
The rude boy train is comin' now
[Verse 8]
Rude boy, get up a circuit chart
Rude boy, get up a circuit chart
[Verse 9]
007 is back on the scene
007 is back on the scene
