Young Folks Songtext
von Diana Ross & The Supremes

Here they come
Looking so alive
They′re here for business
But it's all none of your jive

Brighter tomorrows are in their eyes
You′d 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 (you might not like it)
Gotta tell you (yeah, I gotta tell you)
You′d better make way for the young folks
Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah


They′re marching with signs
They're standing in lines, yeah
Protesting your right to turn out the light
In their lives

Here′s the deal
Accept it if you will
They're coming 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
You may not like it, but I've got to tell you (you may not like it)
Gotta tell you (yeah, I gotta tell you)

Oh, oh, oh you′d better make way
You gotta make way
You'd better make way
For the young folks
(Ooh yeah)


You may not like it, but I've got to tell you
Gotta tell you (I got to tell you)
You′d better make way
You gotta make way
You better make way
For the young′s folks
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)
