Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
Don't want to stay alive when you're twenty-five
[Verse 2]
Lucy's stealing clothes from unlocked cars
Freddy's got spots form ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
[Verse 3]
The television man is crazy
Sayin' we're juvenile delinquent wrecks
But man, I don't need TV when I've got a T. Rex
Brother, you guessed
I'm a dude
[Verse 4]
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
[Verse 5]
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
[Verse 6]
Jimmy's looking sweet, though he dresses like a queen
He can kick like a mule, it's a real mean team
We can love
Yes, we can love
[Verse 7]
And my brother's back at home
With his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff
Such a drag
Too many snags
[Verse 8]
Yeah, I drink a lot of wine
And I'm feelin' fine
Gonna race some cat to bed
Is it concrete all around or is it just in my head?
Oh brother, you guessed
I'm a dude
[Verse 9]
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes (Boogaloo dudes)
Carry the news (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 10]
All the young dudes (All the young dudes)
Carry the news (Carry the news)
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
[Verse 11]
All the young dudes
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes
Carry the news
[Verse 12]
All the young dudes (Yeah)
Carry the news
All the young dudes
Carry the news (Fantastic)
