Here is a cheerful and confident man-about-town, the mayor of his block, always quick with a howdy-do and a sniff around. He might be homeless or he might have great wealth but he is most certainly a Tea Party Patriot!
lyrics
Duke of Raleigh
One eye tells me where I’m going
One eye tells me who I am
And my third eye is a bird eye
When I’m looking down I see everything
whoa
Shoobedoowop
I follow the voice of folly
Whatever you want
They call me the Duke of Raleigh
Yup, I’m living off the land and the land is fat
I got my sugar cane and my tricorne hat
And it's so fine up here when I'm lying up here
And I'm looking down I see everything
Ooooooo
I can't help it of I feel this good
Walking the streeets of my neighborhood
Seeing the smiles on all the faces
I know, I know everyone wants everything
Yeah yeah
