Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
A bad little kid moved into my neighborhood He won't do nothing right just sitting down and look so good He don't want to 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 put some tacks on teachers chair Puts chewing gum in little girl's hair Man, junior, behave yourself Buy every rock and roll book on the magazine stand Every dime that he get is lost to the jukebox man Well, he worries his teacher till at night she's ready to poop From rocking and a-rolling spinning in a hula hoop Well, this rock and roll has got to stop Junior's head is hard as rock Now junior, behave yourself Going tell your mama you better do what she said Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head He took your canary and he fed it to the neighbors cat He gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mother's laundromat Well, mama's head has got to stop Junior's head is hard as rock Now junior, behave yourself
