All The Young Dudes
Enrico Ruggeri Lyrics

Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide,
Billy talked all night about his suicide, as if it were a cool and glamorous thing to do.

How he kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
He talked about how he plans to kill himself by kicking himself in the head when he turns twenty-five.

Speed jive don't want to stay alive
Billy believes that doing drugs is better than living life.

When you're twenty-five.
Billy thinks that life loses its meaning after the age of 25.

And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
Wendy is a thief who steals clothes from the department store Marks and Sparks.

And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face.
Freddy got pimples on his face because he ripped off the fake stars that he had attached to his face.

Funky little boat race
All these people are messed up and doing strange things.

And Television man is crazy saying we're juvenile delinquent wrecks.
The person on TV is insane because he thinks that young people are all troublemakers.

Oh man I need TV when I got T Rex
I don't need TV because I have the band T Rex.

Oh brother you guessed:
I'm not ashamed to say it, I'm one of the young dudes.

I'm a dude dad
I'm a young man who's proud to be part of this group.

All the young dudes (Hey dudes)
This song is for all the young men who are part of this group.

Carry the news (Where are ya?)
Spread the word about our group and what we stand for.

Boogaloo dudes (Stand up!Come on!)
Get up and dance with us, show some spirit!

Now Lucy looks sweet cause he dresses like a queen
Lucy dresses in women's clothing and looks good doing it.

But he can kick like a mule it's a real mean team.
Even though Lucy dresses femininely, he is still tough and can fight like a mule.

But we can love oh yes we can love.
Despite our differences, we can still find love and acceptance amongst each other.

And my brother's back at home with his Beatles and his Stones,
My brother is at home listening to classic rock bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

We never got it off on that revolution stuff.
We didn't really connect with the political and cultural revolutions of the past.

What a drag too many snags.
It's a shame that we can't fully embrace the ideals of the past.

Now I've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine,
I've had a lot to drink and I'm feeling pretty good right now.

Got to race some cat to bed.
I need to hurry up and go have sex with someone.

Oh is there concrete all around
I'm so out of it that I can't tell if I'm standing on concrete or not.

Or is it in my head?
I'm not sure if what I'm seeing and feeling is real or just in my imagination.

All the young dudes (What dudes!)
The song continues, addressing the young men again.

Carry the news (Let's hear the news, come on!)
Let's keep spreading our message and getting our voices heard.

Boogaloo dudes (I want to kick you)
Let's have a good time together and dance together energetically.

And I want to talk to you, relate to you)
I want to connect with you as a person and build a deeper relationship.
