Verse

Now Lucy's looking sweet, though he dresses like a queen, he can

kick like a mule, its a real mean team.

We can love, 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.

Bridge

Well I drunk a lotta wine and I'm feelin' fine -

gonna race some cat to bed. Is this

concrete all around or is it

in my head? Oh, Brother, ya guessed - I'm a dude.

Refrain

All the young dudes

Carry the news

Boogaloo dudes

Carry the news

Ok, here we go. This is my first post, so deep breaths. This is quite

tricky to play in parts. It's based on the 'David Live' version - as

I don't have a copy of Mott the Hopple! Have fun. Comments corrections

etc, mail me.
