A Message to You, Rudy (Live at Le Bataclan) Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop your messing around (Oh, oh, oh)
Better think of your future (Oh, oh, oh)
Time you straighten right out (Oh, oh, oh)
Creating problems in town (Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Rudy
A message to you, Rudy
A message to you

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop your fooling around (Oh, oh, oh)
Time you straighten right out (Oh, oh, oh)
Better think of your future (Oh, oh, oh)
'Cause you’ll wind up in jail (Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Rudy
A message to you, Rudy
A message to you

[Interlude]
We got Mr. Tim Smart on trombone
Blow, Tim, blow
[Pre-Chorus]
Stop your messing around (Oh, oh, oh)
Better think of your future (Oh, oh, oh)
Time you straighten right out (Oh, oh, oh)
Creating problems in town (Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Rudy
A message to you, Rudy
A message to you, Rudy
Oh, it's a message to you, Rudy
Yeah, a message to you, Rudy
Yeah, a message to you, Rudy
Whoa, a message to you, Rudy
Yeah, a message to you, Rudy
Whoa, a message to you, Rudy
(A message to you all)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
