The Young Folks - Lyrics by Diana Ross And The Supremes


Lyrics
Here they come lookin' so alive
They're here for business but it's all none of your jive
Brighter tomorrows are in their eyes
You better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah

They say yes, and you say no
They ask you why, and you close the door
My old friend, I thought you knew by now
You can't do that to the young folks
Oh, no no no no

You might not like it, but I've got to tell you, gotta tell you
You better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah

They're marchin' with signs
They're standin' in lines, yeah
Protestin' your right
To turn out the light
In their lives

Here's the deal, accept it if you will
They're comin' on strong, it's their time to live
My old friend, I thought you knew by now
You gotta make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah (yeah)

You may not like it, but I've got to tell you, gotta tell you
Oh, you better make way, you gotta make way,
You better make way for the young folks
Ooh, yeah

You may not like it, but I've got to tell you, gotta tell you
Oh, you better make way, you gotta make way,
You better make way for the young folks
Ooh ooh, yeah
(fade out)
