Bad Boy / Having a Party Lyrics
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, this is a party.)
Oh yeah. (Doo-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-dee)
Well, alright. (Doo-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-dee)
Oh yeah. (Yeah)
Well, alright. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, eh, eh)

Oh yeah. (Uh, nuh, nuh, nuh, uh)
Well, alright. (Doo-doo-doo-dee-dee, yeah)
Roll back the rug, everybody
Move all the tables and chairs
We're gonna have us a good time tonight
Every time that we meet
We skip and we dip to the beat, hey yeah
What in the world could be better than getting together again?
The last time that we had a party
It ended when the sun came up
That's why your mama told you that you couldn't go out
Stay in the house
Bad boy
Gonna sneak out tonight
He's gonna tip by her window
'Cause he sure wants to go out and dance
Oh yeah. (Doo-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-dee)
Well, alright. (Doo-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-dee)
Oh yeah. (Yeah)
Well, alright. (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, eh, eh)
Oh yeah. (Doo-doo-bee-doo-bee-doo-dee)
Well, alright. (Twiddle-dee-dee, twiddle-dee-dee, twiddle-dee-dee)
Oh yeah. (Uh, nuh, nuh, nuh, uh)
Well, alright. (Doo-doo-doo-dee-dee, yeah)
Roll back the rug, everybody
Move all the tables and chairs
We're gonna have us a good time tonight
Every time that we meet
We skip and we dip to the beat, hey yeah
What in the world could be better than getting together again?
The last time that we had a party
It ended when the sun came up
That's why your mama told you that you couldn't go out
Stay in the house
Bad boy
Gonna sneak out tonight
He's gonna tip by her window
'Cause he sure wants to go out and dance
Everyone's here, let 'em all in. (Oh yeah.)
The chandelier downstairs has fallen. (Well, alright.)
I know it's hard to resist
This is the party no one wanted to miss
If you don't get home on the double, boy, (Oh yeah.)
You're going to be in trouble. (Well, alright.)
I hope your mama don't look in your room
'Cause if she does, she'll be here soon
(Boy) She's gonna be mad
You're a bad boy. (Boy)
You've got it bad, boy
(Boy) Say goodbye to your friends
'Cause it's gonna be a while 'til you see them again
Oh
Bad boy
Gonna sneak out tonight
He's gonna tip by her window
'Cause he sure wants to get out and dance
(Ooh, yeah! Right, sho 'nuff, sho 'nuff!)
Everybody's swinging dancing to the music

You're going to be in trouble. (Well, alright.)
I hope your mama don't look in your room
'Cause if she does, she'll be here soon
(Boy) She's gonna be mad
You're a bad boy. (Boy)
