Went uptown to see my cousin

Plays guitar, sounds like a chainsaw buzzin'

In the crowd, I see his mom and dad

I said "Hey, hey Uncle, man your son is bad"



But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad

Cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad.



Across the street, a neon sign

All you can eat for a dollar ninety nine



Our soul stew is the baddest in the land

But one dollar's worth was all that I could stand



But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad

Cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad.



Back uptown to see marie

Nobody home, I opened the door with my key

"I love you, Huey" was the note I read

But there's a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed



But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad

Cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad
