Billy rapped all night 'bout 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
Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks and Sparks
And Freddie's got spots from ripping off the stars from his face
Funky little boat race
The 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 yeah
All the young dudes, hey dudes

????? looks sweet coz he dresses like a queen
But he can kick like a mule
It's a real mean team
That we can love
Oh yes, we can love
And my brother's back at home
With his Beatles and his Stones
We never got if off on that revolution stuff
What a drag
Too many snags
Well I drunk a lot of wine
And I'm feeling fine
Gonna race some cat to bed
Oh, is there concrete all around
Or is it in my head
