James Dean

James Dean, James Dean, I know just what you mean

James Dean, you said it all so clean

And I know my life would look alright

If I could see it on the silver screenYou were the low down rebel if there ever was

Even if you had no cause

James dean, you said it all so clean

And I know my life would look alright

If I could see it on the silver screenWe'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator

You were just too cool for school

Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop

The only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rulesJames Dean, James Dean, so hungry and so lean

James Dean, you said it all so clean

And I know my life would look alright

If I could see it on the silver screenLittle James Dean up on the screen

Wonderin' who he might be.

Along came a spyder, picked up a rider

Took him down the road to eternityJames Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen

James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye

Bye bye too fast to live too young to die

Bye bye too fast to live too young to die

Bye bye too fast to live too young to die

Bye bye too fast to live too young to die

Too fast to live too young to die

Oo-oo-oo-oo too fast to live too young to die

Bye bye too fast to live too young to die

Oh, James Dean too fast to live too young to die
