Qualified - Dr. John

Lookey here

Better hurry up and check it out

Lookey here, lookey here

Your steak ain’t no hipper than my porkchop

Your Cadillac ain’t no hipper than my bus stop

Your champagne ain’t no hipper than my soda pop

Lookey here, I’m ready to take care of business

Have no fear, I’m already here

I’ll Tell you now (I'm qualified)

You know that I’m qualified

(You know that I’m qualified)

Your top hat ain’t no better than my ginger brown

And your sharkskin ain’t no badder than my Levis jean

The money you got, it ain’t no better than a higher spending man’s

All I’ve got is a little bit of common sense

I believe in my heart, the best teacher is experience

I’ll tell you now (I'm qualified)

You know that I’m qualified

(You know that I’m qualiied)

You may find me in a project slum

Be hanging out with all the skid row bums

I may be sick and I may seem dumb

That don’t mean you know where I’m coming from

Look out kid

Just make a little room

Your social life ain’t no better than my hot dog stand

Your edu-ma-cation ain’t no hipper than what you understand

Your woman next door, she ain’t no hipper than a hot loving band

I got the power to control

I can see clean through your blindfold

And I want to tell you now (I'm qualified)

You know that I’m qualified

(You know that I’m qualiied)

(Fadeout)

Look at me, I’m filling up in class

And you better watch out, I’m stepping up fast

Can’t hang a jacket on me, I’ve been hanging out in the projects

Hangin' out with all you rednecks

You rubbernecks and rejects…
