Dolemite Kid

My name is Bobby Rush, but they call me the dolemite kid
I said my name is Bobby Rush, but they call me the dolemite kid

When I was a little boy
About 24 inches high
I used to crawl on the table leg
And make the biscuit fly
I would go up on the meat skin
I would come down on the bone
Hit the biscuit, 75 licks, and I made the corn bread moan
Oh yeah
(Oh yeah)
Tell you, that's what I did
(That's what he did, that's what he did)
You see my name is Bobby Rush, but they call me the Dolemite Kid
(Dolemite kid, dolemite kid)

When I was old enough, I started school
That's when I learned my golden rules
I learned my lesson, I passed my test
I got kicked out of school for looking, under my teachers dress
Oh yeah
(Oh yeah)
Tell you, that's what I did
(That's what he did, that's what he did)

You see, my name is Bobby Rush, but they call me, the dolemite kid
(Dolemite Kid, dolemite did)

I'm faster than a bullet, stronger than superman
I knocked the elephant down one day, with my bear hands
I got a teaspoon, and dug a ten-foot ditch
Went into the woods and caught a bear, and whooped him with a switch
Oh yeah
(oh yeah)
Tell ya'll, that's what I did
(That's what he did, that's what he did)

You see my name is Bobby Rush, but they call me, the dolemite kid
(The dolemite Kid, the dolemite Kid)

I caught an alligator one day, ran my hand down his throat
Snatched the tongue out of his mouth, and used it for my remote
A rattlesnake saw me coming one day, he ran and tried to hide
I caught him, bit him on the neck, he crawled off and died

Oh yeah
(Oh yeah)
Tell ya'll, that's what I did
(That's what he did, that's what he did)

You see my name is Bobby Rush
But they call me, the dolemite kid
(The dolemite kid, the dolemite kid)

They call me, dolemite kid
Because of the things ya'll, that I did
(the dolemite kid)
The kids don't jive, the kids don't play
Say what I mean ya'll, mean what I say
(the dolemite kid)
The dolemite kid
(d-o-l-ethe dolemite kid)
Tell ya'll, tell ya'll, I'm a dolemite kid
(dolemite, dolemite) (the dolemite kid)
I said my name is Bobby Rush, but they call me the dolemite kid
(d-o-l-ethe dolemite kid)
(dolemite, dolemite) (the dolemite kid)
I said my name is Bobby Rush, but they call me the dolemite kid
(dolemite, dolemite) (the dolemite kid)
(d-o-l-ethe dolemite kid)
(dolemite, dolemite) (the dolemite kid)
