He doesn't talk much, 
But when he does he sayin' somethin'. 
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty.) 
He lives in the slums, 
'Cause his folks never had nothin' 
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty.) 

(He's a rebel without a cause.) 
(He doesn't do what everyone does.) 
(And he makes my heart go run-run ditty.) 
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty.) 
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty, boom-boom.) 

I see him every day, 
Hangin' 'round the neighborhood. 
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty.) 
They say stay away, don't talk to him, 
'Cause he is no good. 
(Run-run ditty, run-run ditty.) 

(He's a rebel without a cause.) 
(He doesn't do what everyone does.) 
(And he makes my heart go run-run ditty.) 
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty.) 

(How did he ever get in so much trouble?) 
(Sha-da da-da, sha da da-da da-da.) 
(Why do the papers always mention his name?) 
(Sha-da da-da, sha da da-da da-da.) 

(He's a rebel without a cause.) 
(He doesn't do what everyone does.) 
(And he makes my heart go run-run ditty.) 
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty.) 
(Makes my heart go run-run ditty, boom-boom.) 

Oh-ah, yes. (He makes my heart go run-run ditty.) 
Oh-ah, ye-eh-eh-es. (He makes my heart go run-run 
ditty.) 
Oh-ah, ye-eh-eh-es. (Makes my heart go run-run ditty, 
boom-boom.) 

Oh-ah, yes. (He makes my heart go run-run ditty.) 
[Fade.] 
Oh-ah, ye-eh-eh-es. (He makes my heart go run-run 
ditty.) 
Oh-ah, ye-eh-eh-es. (Makes my heart go run-run 
ditty...)
