Music by elton john Lyrics by bernie taupin Available on the album goodbye yellow brick road
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, 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 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 And what do you expect from a sixteen year old yo-yo And hey, hey, hey, oh don't you know
