The Young Folks - 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

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

Gotta tell you

Whoa

You’d better make way

You gotta make way

You’d better make way

For the young folks

(oh yeah)

You may not like it but I’ve got to tell you

Gotta tell you

Whoa

You’d better make way

You gotta make way

You’d better make way

For the young’s folks

Ooh, ooh yeah
