	Story Behind the Song I used to sing this as a tribute to my crazy wisdom guru. Lately, it's taken on political overtones..."now Junior, behave yourself!" Lyrics BAD BOY By Larry Williams A bad little kid moved in to my neighborhood He don’t do nothin’ right, just sits around tryin’ to look good He don’t want to go to school and learn to read or write Just sits around and plays that rock n’roll music all night He put thumbtacks on teacher’s chair Chewing gum in a little girl’s hair Now junior, behave yourself! He buys every rock n’roll book on the magazine stand Every dime that he gets, he’s off to see the jukebox man He worries that teacher ‘till at night she’s ready to poop With rockin’ and arolling, swinging that hula hoop This rockn’roll has gotta stop Junior’s head is hard as rock Now junior, behave yourself! Gonna tell your mamma you’d better do what she said Get to that barbershop and get that hair cut off your head You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in your momma’s Laundromat And then you shot the canary and fed it to the neighbor’s cat This rockn’roll has gotta stop Junior’s head is hard as rock Now junior, behave yourself!
