Bad Boy

The Beatles

A bad little kid moved in to my neighbourhood

He won't do nothing right, just sits down and looks so good

He don't wanna go to school and learn to read and write

Just sits around the house and plays the rock and roll music all night

Well he puts thumbtacks on teacher's chair

Put chew'n' gum in little girl's hair

Now, Junior behave yourself!

Buys ev'ry rock and roll book on the magazine stand

Ev'ry dime that he gets oh he's off to the jukebox man

Well he worries his teacher till at night she's ready to poop

From rockin' and a rollin', spinnin' in a hula hoop

Well his rock'n'roll has gotta stop, Junior's head is hard as rock

Now, Junior behave yourself!

Gonna tell your mama, you'd better do what she says

Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head

Threw the canary and you fed it to the neighbour's cat

You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mother's laundromat

Well his mamma said it's gotta stop, Junior's head is hard as rock

Now, Junior behave yourself!
