Have a lucky charm and a usual crew

And a wild guitar 'cos it's good for you

Get a pair of legs about three feet long

And a Dangerous Jane to lay kisses on



But be young dumb and full of it

Young dumb and full of it full of it



Keep your friends real close

And keep your enemies closer

And be a real Hoss Carwright on the Ponderosa

Get a kingsize brain with the funk gone wrong

And bite the hand that you feed upon



But be young dumb and full of it

Young dumb and full of it full of it



Show the squares some class with some bravado

And a whiff of the kicks that they'll never know

Tell the party jerk if he shows again

You're gonna work on his head with a six foot chain.



But be young dumb and full of it

Shake up New York shakedown gypsy



The trouble with Mary and the truth about Frank

They wanted the money but they wouldn't rob banks

They wouldn't just get down yelling for the hell of it

Should have been young dumb and full of it full of it
