Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
As far as I know, there is very little information about the recording
of this song. It seems it was recorded for the american market and that
it was made much in a hurry.
The original key tone seems to have been C7, but in tabbing it I found
very hard reaching some notes in the F7 chord (E7 in this tab) so that
I think they might have tuned the rythm guitar a half step downd or used
a capo on the first fret, which I think is easier.
A bad little kid moved into my neighbourhood
He won't do nothing right just sitting down and looks 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 some gum in little girl's hair
Now, junior, behave yourself
Buys 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
Gonna tell your mama you better do what she said
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, mama's head has got to stop
Junior's head is hard as rock
Now, junior, behave yourself
(Use a capo on the first fret.)
