Stop your running about
It's time you straighten right out
Stop your running around
Making trouble in the town
Ahaha, Rudy, a message to you
Rudy, a message to you
You're growing older each day
You want to think of your future
Or you might wind up in jail
And you will suffer
Ahaha, Rudy, a message to you
Rudy, a message to you
Stop your running about
It's time you straighten right out
Stop your running around
Making trouble in the town
Ahaha, Rudy, a message to you
Rudy, a message to you
Rudy, a message to you
Rudy, a message to you, Rudy
In the second half of the '60s, Kingston was suffering from increasing crime, and while a few years before the criminals were somewhat regarded as a kind of heroes, for standing up to the establishment, at the time of the release of this song they were a genuine plague. This song is call to mend their ways, or suffer the consequence.
