I'm just a bad boy, (boy)

All dressed up in fancy clothes

I'm takin' the trouble

To blow my bubbles away



Bad boy (boy)

Life is just a bowl of cherries

I'm takin' the trouble

To turn my nights into days



The hot, blazin' sun (doo-doo, doo-doo)

Won't hurt my head (doo-doo, doo-doo)

'cause you'll always find me (doo-doo, doo-doo)

Right there in the shade (doo-doo, doo-doo)

I can see all the folks (doo-doo, doo-doo)

They're laughin' at me (doo-doo, doo-doo)

'cause I'm just naturally crazy



Bad boy (boy)

All dressed up in fancy clothes

I'm takin' the trouble

To blow my bubbles away



The hot, blazin' sun (doo-doo, doo-doo)

Won't hurt my head (doo-doo, doo-doo)

'cause you'll always find me (doo-doo, doo-doo)

Right there in the shade (doo-doo, doo-doo)

I can see all the folks (doo-doo, doo-doo)

They're laughin' at me (doo-doo, doo-doo)

'cause I'm just naturally lazy



Bad boy (ahh)

All dressed up in fancy clothes

I'm takin' the trouble

To blow my bubbles away
