DAVID STEREO NYC - RUB THE BUDDHA Lyrics

I was chillin on West End Avenue I was feeling down and kind of blue
My girl and I we had a fight so I took a stroll into the night
As I walked along I saw this store strange I'd never seen that one before
This man in the store with a great big grin motioned me to come on in
He said tell me son what's troubling you well I told him my tale sad but true
So he gave me this statue about so high of this little round oriental guy
I said what am I supposed to do he said give me your hand and I'll guide you through
Rub the Buddha when you got pain, Rub the Buddha for financial gain
Rub the Buddha when you get stuck, Rub the Buddha to change your luck
Rub the Buddha, Rub the Buddha,
Rub the Buddha when you get stuck, Rub the Buddha to change your luck
When I got home she was gone her note said she was moving on
She was taking the very next flight and all I could do was say yeah right
I put that Buddha in a drawer and soon forgot what he was for
I tried to get on with living my life but little things added to my stress and strife
I got canned from my dead end job and wound up turning into a slob
But then one night I had a dream I saw this little figurine
I heard this voice inside my ear shout these words loud and clear
Rub the Buddha when you got pain, Rub the Buddha for financial gain
Rub the Buddha when you get stuck, Rub the Buddha to change your luck
Rub the Buddha, Rub the Buddha,
Rub the Buddha when you get stuck, Rub the Buddha to change your luck
Well I rubbed that Buddha 'til he turned blue waited to see what he would do
But while I was waiting I wanted to eat so I went to this place down the street
As I was eating and reading my book this man walks up and says you got the look
Gave me this card told me to call said if this works out I'd have a ball
Well I went down big screen test guess by now you know the rest
I became a star got the dough that's how I became David Stereo so
Rub the Buddha when you got pain, Rub the Buddha for financial gain
Rub the Buddha when you get stuck, Rub the Buddha to change your luck
Rub the Buddha, Rub the Buddha,
Rub the Buddha when you get stuck, Rub the Buddha to change your luck
