Lyrics
Well, Billy rapped all night about his suicide
How he'd kick it in the head when he was 25
Speed jive, don't wanna stay alive when you're 25
And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freedy'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
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 you)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up, come on)
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)
Carry the news (all of you, now)
Lucy looking 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 drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Gotta 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 (hey dudes)
Carry the news (where are you)
Boogaloo dudes (stand up, come on)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (I wanna hear you)
Carry the news (I wanna see you)
Boogaloo dudes (I wanna relate to you)
Carry the news
All the young dudes (what dudes)
Carry the news (let's hear the news, come on)
Boogaloo dudes (I wanna kick you)
Carry the news
(Hey, you there)
All the young dudes (with the glasses)
Carry the news (I want you)
Boogaloo dudes (I want you in the front)
Carry the news (now)
(Now, you're his friends)
All the young dudes (now you bring him down, 'cause I want him)
Carry the news
Boogaloo dudes (I want him right here, bring him, come on)
Carry the news (bring him)
(Here you go)
All the young dudes (I've wanted to do this for years)
Carry the news (there you go)
Boogaloo dudes (how'd it feel)
Carry the news
