Bad Boy Boogie

AC/DC · Bonfire [1998]

On the day I was born

The rain fell down

There was trouble brewin' in my home town

It was the seventh day

I was the seventh son

And it scared the hell out of everyone



They said drop, I said go

They said fast, I said slow

They said lost, I said no

I do the bad boy boogie



Bein' a bad boy ain't that bad

I had me more dirty women than most men ever had

All you women come along with me

And I'll show you how good a bad boy can be



I said right and they said left

I said east and they said west

I said up and they said down

I do the bad boy boogie

All over town



I wouldn't tell you no story

Tell you no lie

I was born to love till the day I die

I just line em up

And I knock 'em down

And they all came a runnin' when the word got around

Just keep a runnin'



(Bad boy boogie)

I said up

They said down

(Bad boy boogie)

They said straight

I said round

(Bad boy boogie)

They said lost

I said found

(Bad boy boogie)

I said free

And they said bound



Bad boy boogie

Do the bad boy boogie

Bad boy boogie

Bad boY boogie
