Bad Boy

A bad little kid

Moved into my neighborhood

(He's a bad boy)

He won't do nothin' right

His report car' don't look so good

(He's a bad boy)

He don't wanna go to school

An' learn to read an' write

(He's a bad boy)

He jes' a-sits aroun' the house

An' plays that rock 'n' roll music all night

(He's a bad boy)

He puts thumbtacks in his teacher's chair

Put chew'n gum in a li'l girl's hair

Now Junior, behave yourself!

He buy every rock 'n' roll book

On the magazine stan'

(He's a bad boy)

Every dime that he get

He's off to the juke box, man

(He's a bad boy)

He worries his a-teacher

Till at night she's a-ready to poop

(He's a bad boy)

A-rockin' 'n' a-rollin'

Spinnin' in a hoola hoop

This rock 'n' roll has gotta stop

Junior's head is hard as rock

Now Junior, behave yourself, ow!

Gonna tell your mamma

You'd better do what she said

(Bad boy)

Go to the barber shop

An' get that hair cut off your head

(Bad boy)

He took your pet canary

An' he fed it to the neighboor's cat

(He's a bad boy)

He gave the cocker spaniel a bath

In his mother's laundromat

(He's a bad boy)

This minor mess has gotta stop

Junior's head is hard as rock

Now Junior, behave yourself
