Artist/Band: Elton John
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
