Lyrics
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 Wendy's stealing clothes from Mark's & Spark's
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars
From his face, a funky little boat race.
The television man is crazy, saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
Oh man, I need TV when I got T.Rex
Oh brother you guessed, I'm a dude now.
(All the young dudes) hey dudes (carry the news) where are ya'?
(Boogaloo dudes) stand up (carry the news)
(All the young dudes) I wanna hear you (carry the news) I wanna feel you
(Boogaloo dudes) I wanna see you (carry the news).
Now Lucy looks sweet 'cause she dresses like a queen
But she can kick like a mule, it's a real mean team
But we can love, you better believe it
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.
I drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine, I'm gonna race some cat to bed
Is this concrete all around, now 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 ya'?
(Boogaloo dudes) stand up (carry the news)
(All the young dudes) I wanna hear you (carry the news) I wanna feel you
(Boogaloo dudes) I wanna see you (carry the news).
(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 with the funny haircut (carry the news)
I'm sure I want you (boogaloo dudes) give me your name after the show (carry the news)
I'll see what I can do alright.
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
