lyrics

There was this pipe smokin’ dude back in my high school
That all the freakies called the Duke
He had a big black Pontiac, a bad boss 8-track
A case of AC/DC tunes

(He’s alright)
I feel like a star
(He’s alright)
In the back of his car
When we ride in his Pontiac
(There he goes)
In a Pontiac
(What’s he smoking?)
Ain’t Captain Black
(Rock and rollin’)
He’s the Duke of High School

He had a big army coat to smuggle in smokes
Hey, come and see what Duke has got
So after fifth period, we’d all get delirious
And cut out to the car in the parking lot

Oh, well, the Duke of cool, he dropped out of school
And took a job at the corner quick stop
We all went to college, got stuffed full of knowledge
But every weekend we came home where the Duke was boss
