Well Billy rapped all night about his suicide
         Bm                              Bm/A
How he'd kick it in the head when he was twenty-five
F♯m                                   A(sus4)                         
Speed jive, don't want to stay alive, when you're twenty-five

And Wendy's stealing clothes from Marks & Sparks
And Freddy's got spots from ripping off the stars
From his face, funky little boat race           

Em                Em7

G             D                A
Man, I need T.V. when I've got T.Rex
      A7 <
Oh brother you guessed, I'm a dude dad

  Carry the news (where are ya?)
  Am7/G    F
  Boogaloo dudes (stand up, come on)
  C5             G C5 A/C♯ (D)
  Carry the news

  All the young dudes (I want to hear you)
  Carry the news (I want to see you)
  Boogaloo dudes (I want to talk to you, all of you)
  Carry the news (now)

Lucy looks 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've drunk a lot of wine and I'm feeling fine
Got to race some cat to bed, oh
Is that 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 ya?)
  Boogaloo dudes (stand up)
  Carry the news

  All the young dudes (I want to hear ya)
  Carry the news (I want to see you)
  Boogaloo dudes (I want to 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 want to 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 (haha)
  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

  All the young dudes 

(fade out)
