This boy he's not old yet, he's not learnt to behave His older folks are watching him, and laughing from their graves They did things in younger days To make this boy look tame All he'll do is learn to fight to play their silly games He's not such a bad boy! All he really wants to find is if he's in or out In the workings of his mind, The working of a lout, Comic strips and flashlight trips
They are his way of life These feelings bottled up inside Are enough to make him shout I'm not such a bad boy! This boy he's not old yet, he's not learnt to behave His older folks are watching him, and laughing from their graves He only wants to break away and start anew his life But all he'll do is learn to fight and play their silly games He's not such a bad boy!
