James Dean, James Dean I know just what you mean

*James Dean, you said it all so clean
And I know my life would look all right
If I could see it on the silver screen

You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was
Even if you had no cause

(* Repeat)

Well, talk about a lowdown, bad refrigerator
You were just too cool for school
Sock Hops, soda pop, basketball and auto shop
The only thing that got you off was
Workin' on the rules
James Dean, James Dean, so hungry and so mean

(* Repeat)

Little James Dean up on the screen
Wonderin' who he might be
Along came a Spider, picked up a rider
And took him down the road to eternity

James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen...
You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye...
(Bye bye) Too fast to live, too young to die (Repeat)
Oh, James Dean, bye bye
