One man above the rest
With youthful confidence
He was the only dude
With way cool attitude
He was the guy that every young man wants to be
The exception to the rule
The epitome of cool
Rebel without a cause
One step above the law
You got to play the role
Never looked back at all
One star is born and rising on that silver screen
Without mentioning a thing
We know exactly what you mean
CHORUS:
Doing it James Dean style
Doing it fast without a worry
Maybe I'll live to tell the story
Maybe I'll go down in a blaze of glory
James Dean style James Dean stlye
Blue jeans and a clean white tee for me
Poodle skirts and Drive-In theaters
Leather coats and rear-view mirrors
If a thrill is what you're after
Come with me you'll get there faster
Hooray for Hollywood
They got you looking good
They told you what to wear
And how to comb your hair
One man's idea of individuality
Now the question has to be
Do you believe in what you see
One Sunday afternoon
Was when we got the news
One teenage idol gone
One legend carries on
In every boy that climbs that stairway to the stars
With a passion in their heart
Ready and set to play the part
