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
Don't 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 Levi's 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 degree is experience

I'll tell you now, I'm qualified
You know that I'm qualified
Don't you know that I'm qualified?

You may find me in a project slum
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 for it

Your social life ain't no better than my hot dog stand
Your education ain't no hipper than what you understand
Your woman that you got, 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
Don't you know that I'm qualified

Qualified, I'm qualified
I'm qualified, I'm qualified
Qualified, I'm qualified
I'm qualified, I'm qualified
I'm qualified, I'm qualified
Qualified, I'm qualified
