アメリカの俳優「ジェームス・ディーン」をテーマにしたナンバー。

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 low-down rebel
if there ever was
Even if you had
no cause
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

We’ll talk about
a low-down bad refrigerator
You were just too cool
for school
Sock hop, soda pop,
basketball and auto shop
The only thing that
got you off was breakin’
all the rules

James Dean,
James Dean
So hungry and so lean
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

Little James Dean up
on the screen
Wonderin’ who
he might be
Along came a Spyder
and picked up a rider
Took him down
the road to eternity

James Dean,
James Dean
You bought it
sight unseen
James Dean,
James Dean
You bought it
sight unseen

You were too fast to live,
too young to die, bye bye
You were too fast to live,
too young to die, bye bye
Bye bye

Too fast to live,
too young to die, bye bye
Too fast to live,
too young to die, bye bye
Too fast to live,
too young to die, bye bye
Too fast to live,
too young to die

Too fast to live,
too young to die
Too fast to live,
too young to die
(Bye bye bye)
Too fast to live,
too young to die
(Oh James Dean)
Too fast to live,
too young to die
Bye bye!
