Elton John - All the Girls Love Alice lyrics

Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double barrel name in
The back of her brain
And a simple case of "Mummy
Doesn't love me" blues

Reality it seems was just a dream
She couldn't get it on with
The boys on the scene
But what do you expect from
A chick who's just sixteen? And hey hey hey
(Hey, hey hey) , you know what I mean

All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
Come over and see me come over and please me
Alice, it's my turn today
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me?
Wait till my husband's away

Poor little darling with a chip
Out of her heart
It's like acting in a movie when
You got the wrong part
Getting your kicks in another girl's bed
And it was only last Tuesday, oh
They found you in the subway dead

And who could you call your
Friends down in SoHo?
One or two middle-aged dykes in a go-go
But what do you expect from a
Sixteen year old yo yo? And hey hey hey
(Hey, hey hey) , oh, don’t you know?

All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
Come over and see me come over and please me
Alice, it's my turn today
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they'd say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me?
Wait till my husband's away
