Looking back on when I, was a little nappy headed boy.
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7
Then my only worry, was for Christmas; what would be my toy.
A#7 C7 Fm7 G#m6
Even though we sometimes would not get a thing;

We were happy with the joy the day would bring.

Sneaking out the back door,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine.
D#m G#7
Greeted at the back door,
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7
With; "boy, I thought I told you not to go out-side?"
A#7 C7 Fm7 G#m6
Tryin' your best to bring the water to you eyes.

Thinkin' it might stop her, from whoopin' your be-hind.

Mama gives you money, for Sunday school,
A#7 C7 Fm7 A#7#5
You trade yours for candy, after church is through.

Smokin' ciga-rettes and,

And writing something nasty on the wall, (you nasty boy!)
D#m G#7 D#m G#7 D#m G#7
Teacher sends you to the principals of-fice down the hall.
