All the Young Dudes
All the Young Dudes
Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
Speed jive!
Do you want to stay alive,
When you're twenty-five?
And Wendy's stealing clothes from "Marks and Sparks"
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
Television man is crazy!
See, I'm juvenile delinquent wreck!
Oh man, I need TV when I got T. Rex!
Oh brother, again:
I'm a dude, man!
All the young dudes (Hey, dudes!)
Carry the news (Where are ya?)
Boogaloo dudes (Stand up, come on!)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear you!)
Carry the news (I want to see you!)
Boogaloo dudes (I wanna touch you! All of you!)
Carry the news
He messes up the street
'Cause he dresses like a queen
When he can kick like a mule
It's a real mean team
But we can love!
Oh yes, we can love!
And my brother's back at home
With his Beatles and his Stones
He never got it off on that revolution stuff
What a drag!
Too many snags!
Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Got to race some cat to bed
Oh is there concrete all around
Or is it in my head?
Yeah!
I'm a dude, man!
All the young dudes (Hey, dudes!)
Carry the news (Where are ya?)
Boogaloo dudes (Stand up!)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I want to hear you!)
Carry the news (I want to see you!)
Boogaloo dudes (I want to relate to you!)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (What dudes?)
Carry the news (Let's hear the news, come on!)
Boogaloo dudes (I want to kick it!)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (Hey, you there! With the glasses!)
Carry the news (I want you!)
Boogaloo dudes (I want you at front!)
Carry the news (Now! Now, I have you as friends!)
All the young dudes (You bring him down!)
Carry the news (Because I want him!)
Boogaloo dudes (I want him right here!)
Carry the news (Bring him! Come on!)
All the young dudes (Bring him!)
Carry the news (I've wanted to dig this for years!)
Boogaloo dudes (Bring him down!)
Carry the news (I want you!)
All the young dudes (Come on, do them!)
Carry the news (I wanna feel with you!)
Boogaloo dudes (I wanna know who you are!)
Carry the news...
