Lyrics for Song: All The Girls Love Alice
Lyrics for Album: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road [1973]
Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barreled name in the back of her brain
And a simple case of mummy doesn't love me blues
Reality it seemed was just a dream
She couldn't get it on with the boys on the scene
But what do you expect from a chick who's just sixteen
And hey, hey, hey (hey, hey, hey) you know what I mean
All of the young girls love Alice, tender young Alice they say
Come over and see me, come over and please me
Alice, it's my turn today
All of the young girls love Alice, tender young Alice they say
If I give you my number, will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband's away
Poor little darlin' with a chip out of her heart
It's like actin' in a movie when you've got the wrong part
And getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last Tuesday
They found you in the subway dead
And who could you call your friends down in Soho
One or two middle aged dykes in the A-Go-Go
But what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo
And hey, hey, hey (hey, hey, hey) oh, don't you know
All of the young girls love Alice, tender young Alice they say
Come over and see me, come over and please me
Alice, it's my turn today
All of the young girls love Alice, tender young Alice they say
If I give you my number, will you promise to call me
Wait till my husband's away
