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
BAD BOY
