Well billy rapped all night about his suicide,
How he kick it in the head when he was twenty five
Speed jive, don't wanna stay alive
When you're twenty five
And Wendy's stealing clothes from marks & sparks
And freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars
From his face a funky little boat race
The television man is crazy
sayin' we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
Oooh, man, I need a TV when I've got T. Rex
Oh brother, ya guessed I'm a dude yeah
All the young dudes (hey, dudes)
Carry the news (where are ya?)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up, c'mon)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I wanna hear you)
Carry the news (I wanna see you)
Boogaloo dudes (I wanna 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 its a real mean team
But we can love oh yes we can love
And my brothers 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
Got to race some cat to bed
Oh is there concrete all around
Or is it in my head
Yeah I'm a dude dad
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
Me singing Me playing
