My old teacher, even the preacher
Told us that we we're a pain
We're good for nothing, up to something
Our pranks drove them insane

Always wheeling, always dealing
We're strangers to honour and shame
Out all night, to steal and fight
Ready to get in the game

Bad boys – lying and cheating
Bad boys – robbing and beating
Bad boys – crying and bleating
Bad boys - I'm one of you

The ground will be shaking, glass will be breaking
In Sheriff Street later tonight
When you're out dancing, sweetly romancing
We'll be flying as high as a kite

Get out of our way or you'll have to pray
That you wake up in some other place
And when morning comes when I go to my mum's
Then it's me who gets slapped in the face

Bad boys – lying and cheating
Bad boys – robbing and beating
Bad boys – crying and bleating
Bad boys - yes, we are the

Bad boys – lying and cheating
Bad boys – robbing and beating
Bad boys – crying and bleating
Bad boys - I'm one of you

Sometimes I wish
I could go straight
Get rid of all
This raging hate
But night comes around
Blood starts to boil
I hear the shout

Bad boys – lying and cheating
Bad boys – robbing and beating
Bad boys – crying and bleating
Bad boys - we are the

Bad boys – lying and cheating
Bad boys – robbing and beating
Bad boys – crying and bleating
Bad boys - I'm one of you

Bad boys
