Well, I've heard some people talkin'
'Bout the high road I've been walkin'
Well it's really more about the things that I can't live without
I've got the finest clothes they're makin'
And the greatest care I've taken
Not to dress like those below me
Yeah, you who used to know me
Won't believe the things I've got
'Cause I'm a Duke and you're not

chorus:

I'm a Duke and you're not
I can throw those option shots
I love the sound of ringing metal
Hey, there's one more for the kettle
I'm a Duke and you're not
Come and get it while it's hot
Just set 'em up, I'll knock 'em down
Pound those guys into the ground
I'm here to show you what I've got
'Cause I'm a Duke and you're not

When it comes to heavy fighting
There's some things I really like
First, there's the fact that I'm the winner
I never have to buy my dinner
It doesn't matter what I'm sayin'
It's my will they'll be obeyin'
('Sides, most people are just weenies
All my Queens wear string bikinis!)
I am really hot to trot
'Cause I'm a Duke and you're not.

Well, those other peers they think
They know a little 'bout the kingdom
And the way that things should be
Yeah, but if they did they'd see
That it's the fighting men that matter
And the world would surely shatter
If I didn't play the game
Things would never be the same
And that's why I'm at the top
'Cause I'm a Duke and you're not

Now, I've heard that somewhere out there
There some guy who likes to sing
And likes to tell his little stories
Oh, and wait, there's even more
He's got a little tune he's singin'
'Bout some fighters that he's zingin'
And some say that one's about me
But I won't give them cause to doubt me
There's no reason to get hot
'Cause I'm a Duke and he's not

I'm a Duke and he's not
He can't block my option shots
He doesn't even have a Crescent*
On the field he isn't present
I'm a Duke and he's not
And all he can do is natter
He can have his chitter-chatter
Of the things that really matter
He's a little, I'm a lot
'Cause I'm a Duke and he's not
