All The Young Dudes

Billy rapped all night about his suicide

How he'd kick it in the head when he reached twenty five

Speed jive - don't wanna stay alive when you're twenty five

And when you're stealing clothes from Marks & Sparks

And Freddie's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face

Oh funky little boat race



The television man is crazy saying we're juvenile delinquents

Oh, man, I need TV when I've got T-Rex

Oh brother you guessed, I'm a dude yeah



(All the young dudes) hey dudes

(Carry the news) where are you

(Boogaloo dudes) stand up

(Carry the news)



(All the young dudes) I wanna hear you

(Carry the news) I wanna be you

(Boogaloo dudes) I wanna

(Carry the news)



Now, Lucy looks sweet 'cos she dresses like a queen

But she can kick like a mule - it's a real mean team

Oh we can love - you better believe it

And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones

We never got enough of that revolution stuff

What a drag, too many snags



I drunk a lotta wine and I'm feeling fine

I gotta raise some cash today, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Is there hungry all around, or is it in my head?

Oh brother you guessed

I'm a dude yeah

I'm a dude yeah



(All the young dudes) hey dudes

(Carry the news) where are you

(Boogaloo dudes)

(Carry the news) stand up



(All the young dudes) I wanna hear you

(Carry the news) I wanna be you

(Boogaloo dudes) I wanna see you

(Carry the news) yeah



Old dudes (all the young dudes)

Big dudes (carry the news)

Little dudes (boogaloo dudes)

Young dudes (carry the news) old dudes, yeah



Hey you there (all the young dudes)

You in the polyester (carry the news)

I think I'm onto you (boogaloo dudes)

You bring them down after the show, I'll see what I can do, alright? (carry the news)



Alright, alright, alright, alright

Hey man
