Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide,

how he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five,

speed jive, don't want to stay alive

when you're twenty-five.

And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks

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

funky little boat race.

The television man is crazy saying we're juvenile deliquent wrecks,

oh man, I need TV when I got T Rex

oh brother you guessed

I'm a dude dad.

All the young dudes (Hey dudes!),

carry the news (Where are ya?),

boogaloo dudes (Stand up, come on!),

carry the news.

All the young dudes (I want to hear you.),

carry the news (I want to see you.),

boogaloo dudes (I want to talk to you - all of you.),

carry the news.



Now Lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen

but he can kick like a mule - it's a real mean team

but we can love, oh yes - we can love.

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

we 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,

I've got to race some cat to bed,

is that concrete all around,

or is it in my head, yeah,

I'm a dude dad.

All the young dudes (Hey dudes!),

carry the news (Where are ya?),

boogaloo dudes (Stand up!),

Carry the news

All the young dudes (I want to hear ya.),

carry the news (I want to see you.),

boogaloo dudes (I want to relate to you.),

carry the news.

All the young dudes (C'mon dudes!),

carry the news (Let's hear the news - come on!),

boogaloo dudes (I want to kick you),

carry the news.

All the young dudes (Hey you there - you with the glasses!),

carry the news (I want you.),

boogaloo dudes (I want you in the front!),

carry the news (Are you all his friends?).

All the young dudes (Will you bring him down, 'cause I want him!),

carry the news

boogaloo dudes (I want him right here, bring him come on - bring him!),

carry the news (There you go!).

All the young dudes (I've wanted to do this for years!),

carry the news (There you go!),

boogaloo dudes (How do you feel?),

carry the news (Sick!).
