Kid

Well, kid you looked fantastic on the box last night
When you did that TV. show.
You were oh so hot you nearly blew straight through my screen.
An the phone lines rang until the early hours of morn'
With folks from every class an' age
Saying you're the most outrageous thing that they'd ever seen.

Well he's a two bit punk, and he doesn't give a damn
What other people think.
He does what he does and he says what he wants to say.
He's a rock'n'roll singer in a rock'n'roll band,
An' I'm sure you all must know this man.
Gets his picture in the paper every day.

Well each year sees a brand new craze,
This year the kid's blasting out over everyone's airwaves,
Cos he's got picked to lead the latest fashion war.
The mums all love him and the daddies get mad
Because he dresses kinda weird an' cos they say his taste is bad.
But most of all it's only because they know.

He's a two bit punk, and he doesn't give a damn
What other people think.
He does what he does and he says what he wants to say.
He's a rock'n'roll singer in a rock'n'roll band,
An' I'm sure you all must know this man.
Gets his picture in the paper every day.

Well kids'll be kids an' their folks'll only worry
What their kids are getting into,
There's two things that you're never gonna change.
You had your hippies an' your rockers and your Rolling Stones
An' your punks but now the Kid's voice is echoing from the radio.
An' like all the rest, he'll step down for a new craze one day.

Well he's a two bit punk, and he doesn't give a damn
What other people think.
He does what he does and he says what he wants to say.
He's a rock'n'roll singer in a rock'n'roll band,
An' I'm sure you all must know this man.
Gets his picture in the paper every day.
