Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll

I move like a cat
Talk like a rat
Sting like a bee
Oh babe, I wanna be your man

Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah, I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll

I fly like a plane
Drive like a car
Ball like a hound
Oh babe, I wanna be your man

Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah, I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy

20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy

Friends say it's fine
Friends say it's good
Everybody says it's just like rock 'n' roll

I move like a cat
Talk like a rat
Sting like a bee
Oh babe, I'm gonna be your man

Well it's plain to see
You were meant for me
Yeah I'm your toy
Your 20th century boy

20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy
20th century toy, I wanna be your boy

Def Leppard

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
