"Johnny have you been a good boy?
Have you been good today?"
"Yes Ma, yes Ma, yes Ma
I've been good
"I skipped school today
Built a fire in the woods
Tore the wings off a sparrow
And it felt good"
Chorus
"Oh well, oh well, oh well
You're my pride and joy
You know what they say
Boys will be boys"
"Johnny have you been a good boy?
Have you been good today?"
"Yes Ma, yes Ma, yes Ma
I've been good
"I pulled the hair of a little girl
Broke windows in a house down the lane
Stole money from a fat kid
And I called him names"
Chorus
"Johnny have you been a good boy?
Have you been good today?"
"Yes Ma, yes Ma, yes Ma
I've been good
"I broke the back of an old man
And I threw his daughter down
And I made her give in to me
And I cut her throat at sundown
"Cause boys will boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
"Ain't I done good, Ma?"
Have you been good today?"
"Yes Ma, yes Ma, yes Ma
I've been good
"I skipped school today
Built a fire in the woods
Tore the wings off a sparrow
And it felt good"
Chorus
"Oh well, oh well, oh well
You're my pride and joy
You know what they say
Boys will be boys"
"Johnny have you been a good boy?
Have you been good today?"
"Yes Ma, yes Ma, yes Ma
I've been good
"I pulled the hair of a little girl
Broke windows in a house down the lane
Stole money from a fat kid
And I called him names"
Chorus
"Johnny have you been a good boy?
Have you been good today?"

I've been good

And I cut her throat at sundown
"Cause boys will boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
