BRUCE DICKINSON
"All The Young Dudes"
[Originally by Mott The Hoople]

Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed jive, don't want to stay alive
When you're 25
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars
From his face
Funky little boat race

Television man is crazy
Saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
I need TV when I got T. Rex
Oh brother, you guessed it
I'm a dude, now

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news

Well, Billy's looking sweet 'cuz he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule, it's a real mean team
But we can love
Ah yes, we can love
And my father'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

Well I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
I gotta race some cat to bed
Oh man, is this concrete all around or is it in my head?
Brother, I'm a dude now

All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
