## Lyrics
[verse]
Walking down the avenue with my collar turned up high,
Every girl on every corner gives a second look and sigh.
I got a crown nobody sees but everybody knows,
I'm the ruler of this city wherever the rhythm goes.

[chorus]
Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of the avenue,
Duke, Duke, Duke, and I'm crowning only you.
There ain't a heart in town that I can't call my own,
Duke of the avenue, sitting on my throne.

[verse]
I don't need a castle, don't need a golden ring,
Just a little swagger and a song I like to sing.
Every step I'm taking got a little bounce and pride,
Duke of the avenue with the whole street on my side.

[chorus]
Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of the avenue,
Duke, Duke, Duke, and I'm crowning only you.
There ain't a heart in town that I can't call my own,
Duke of the avenue, sitting on my throne.

[bridge]
Every corner that I pass, they call my royal name,
Every neighborhood I walk through knows I ain't the same.
Crown me if you want to, or just let me be,
Duke of the avenue, wild and free.

[chorus]
Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of the avenue,
Duke, Duke, Duke, and I'm crowning only you.
There ain't a heart in town that I can't call my own,
Duke of the avenue, sitting on my throne.
