20th Century Boy

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll
I move like a cat
Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Babe, I wanna be your man

Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah, I'm your toy
Your 20th Century boy

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll
Fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Ball like a hound
Babe, I wanna be your man

20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll
I move like a cat
Charge like a ram
Sting like a bee
Babe, I wanna be your man

20th Century boy
I wanna be your toy
20th Century toy
I wanna be your boy

Gonna slip and slide to the motivations of your heart
Well, say it again

Slip and slide to the motivations of your heart
Well say it again

Free Angel, we love you (say it again)
Say it again
Right on, this song

Gonna slip and slide to the motivation of your heart
Well say it again

Free Angel, we love you
Free Angel, we love you

The Groover

T-R-E-X

Some call me Arnie, some name me Slim
It don't make no difference
'Cos I move right in

They call me the groover
When I'm on the floor
The kids yell for more, more, more

Some call me Starkey, some name me Stud - Yes they do
It don't make no difference
'Cos I move in the mud

I said sing it to me children

Yeah, I'm a groover honey
Yeah, I'm a groover honey
Yeah, I'm a groover honey

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah , ah

La, la, la, la, la

Well some call me Jeepster, and some name me Lane
It don't make no difference
Man you know I ain't dim
I'm a groover, 'cos i move right in
Well they call me the groover
When I'm on the floor
The kids yell for more, more, more

I said sing it to me children

Christmas Bop

Christmas....T. Rex-mas
Christmas
Everybody's gotta do the Christmas Bop, yeah

Hey baby, lend me your ear
Christmas time is drawing near
Get to your silk jeans
And your space shoes
I've got some sweet, wild, devastating news

Christmas, here comes the fun
Christmas, we're gonna have some fun
Christmas, gonna dance till we drop
Everybody's gotta do the Christmas Bop

Yeah, summer's gone and snow's fallen down
I'm gonna miss that golden, surfing sound
But cold's bold and there's nothing wrong
We're dressed sweet while I'm singing my song

Christmas....T. Rex-mas
Christmas
Everybody's gotta do the Christmas Bop, yeah

Hey baby, lend me your ear
Christmas time is drawing near
Get on your silk jeans
And your space shoes
I've got some sweet, wild, devastating news

Christmas....T. Rex-mas
Christmas
Everybody's gotta do the Christmas Bop, yeah

Life's and Elevator

Sat with a cat on your head alone at last
You cry with a sigh resurrecting all your past

Life's an elevator It goes up and down
Life's an elevator Can't you dig the sound?

Swift is the kill shadows fill the empty walls
Wild is the word that engulfs the sacred halls

Life's an elevator It goes up and down
Life's an elevator Can't you dig the sound?

Scenes from your past spread before the flaming dawn
Have faith in the hearts of the world they're rocking on

Life's an elevator It goes up and down
Life's an elevator Can't you dig the sound?

City Port

City port, city port, city-city-city port

I went to the city port
City port took my blues away
I went to the city port
City port took my blues away, yes they did

I lost all my city cool
When I bought your midget show
I grew all debonair
When I had the 1980's scare, no hair

That's right

I went to the city sight
A young love took my soul away
Peering eyes and Persian skies, removed my eyes
And took them right away, took them all away
Just like [guitar riff]

I lost all my city cool
When I bought your midget show
City Port

And it took them, took them all away
And it took them, took them all away
City Port

Tame My Tiger

Sister sister
Won't you tame my tiger
Sister sister
Won't you tame my tiger
Won't you give me your love
Real wild
Mister mister
Won't you join my priestess
Mister mister
Won't you join my priestess
If you do my love I'm yours
Baby lady
Won't you tame my tiger
Baby lady
Won't you tame my tiger
Won't you give me your love
Right now
Baby baby won't you tame my tiger

Celebrate Summer

Hey little girl would you like a dance
Hey little girl want a quick romance
Hey little girl won't you take a chance
And celebrate summer with me
Hey little chick where did you learn that trick
Hey don't you know you got rock and roll
Hey little punk forget all that junk
And celebrate summer with me
Summer's not a bummer
This is summer
And it's now
Summer is heaven in '77
Hey little girl would you like a dance
Hey little girl want a quick romance
Hey little girl won't you be the one
To celebrate summer with me
