[[INTRO]]
The bad boy's cuttin' (Boo hoo hoo hoo, this is the bad boy)
Oh yeah! (Scooby-dee-dooby-dee-dee-dee)
Yes, he's bad! (Twiddly-diddly-dee...)
Oh, yeah (Bad.)
Well he's bad. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh yeah! He's got detention (Scooby-dee-dooby-dee-dee-dee)
Well, alright! (Twiddly-dee-twiddly-dee-twiddly-dee)
Oh yeah! (Doo, doo, doo, dee, doo, yeah)
Well, alright (He's got detention...)

[[1st Verse]]
It's three o' clock my schoolchildren
Everybody can go home
We're gonna learn something new tomorrow!
Every school day is great
We work and we learn every day
Where in the world can be better than learning something anew?
But except one naughty boy
Who always throws paper planes and...
Always acts bad in class and spits spitballs everywhere
Staying behind!

[[CHORUS]]
Bad boy
Servin' detention
He better not sneak out the school
'Cause he sure wants to be slick and cool

[[2ND VERSE]]
There are strict rules, don't misbehave! (Oh, no!)
The detention classroom's in session! (Oh, geez!)
It's the teacher you PO'd
This is the classroom, not one student should love!
And if you clown in detention young man, you! (Oh yeah)
You're gonna be suspended! (Oh, no!)
I hope your parents ground you for a month
'Cause if they do, they'll take your stuff!
(Boy) They're gonna be mad
You're a bad boy, you got detention
(Boy) Say goodbye to your teams,
'Cause it's gonna be so long 'til
You're back in their gigs!

[[CHORUS]]

The students are doing (the students doing)
What they're accustomed to...all except one boy...
(He's a bad boy) Serving detention!
Everybody's jiving! (Except one...)
Serving a detention all alone in school...
He stays put

Bad boy (Oh, bad boy)
He better not sneak on out
He better not escape the school
You know he's prone to cheat his penance. (Oh, yeah, like I had said!)

The students are doing (the students doing yeah)
What they're accustomed to...all except one boy...
(A bad boy) Serving detention!
Everybody's jiving! (Except one...)
Serving a detention all alone in school...
He stays put

Oh, bad boy. (Oooh, bad boy.)
He better not do escapes
The principal is watching him!
Uh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh, nuh
Bad boy. (Oooh, bad boy.)
He better not do escapes
The principal is watching him...

Oh yes he's, oh yes he's watching that boy now!
Diddly-diddly-diddly-dee
Skippity-dippity-dippity-dee-dee-dee
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah. Oh
Bad boy. (Oooh, bad boy.)
He better not do escapes
The principal is watching him...
Oh yes he's, oh yes he's watching that boy now!
Diddly-diddly-diddly-dee
