Bad Boy Boogie
AC/DC · Let There Be Rock
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
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
