Elton John Lyrics
"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
