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!
