All the young dudes

[Verse 1]

Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide

How he’d kick it in the head when he was 25

Speed jive, don’t want to stay alive

When you’re 25

And Wendy’s stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks

Freddy’s got spots from ripping off the stars

From his face

Funky little boat race

Television man is crazy

Saying we’re juvenile delinquent wrecks

Oh, man, I need TV when I got T. Rex

Brother, you guessed, I’m a dude, dad

[Chorus]

All the young dudes

Carry the news

Boogaloo dudes

Carry the news

All the young dudes (I wanna hear you)

Carry the news (I wanna see you)

Boogaloo dudes (And I wanna relate to you)

Carry the news

[Verse 2]

Now Lucy looks sweet ’cause he dresses like a queen

But she can kick like a mule, it’s a real mean team

But we can love

Oh yeah, we can love

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

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

Gonna race some cat to bed

Is there concrete all around or is it in my head?

Brother you guessed

I’m a dude, dad

[Chorus]

All the young dudes (I wanna hear you)

Carry the news (I wanna see you)

Boogaloo dudes (And I wanna relate to you)

Carry the news

All the young dudes (Have you heard the latest news?)

Carry the news (Everybody’s got the right to choose)

Boogaloo dudes (You can be a dude, dad)

Carry the news

All the young dudes (I’ve seen you on the street)

Carry the news (Sort of guy I’d like to meet)

Boogaloo dudes (You’re a dude, dad)

Carry the news

[Outro]

Hey, you!

You with the glasses!

I want you

I’m a dude, dad
