Standin' on the corner, swingin' my chain Along came a copper and he took my name He put his dirty maulers on my long drape coat And i whipped out my razor and i slit his throat
Teddy boy boogie, a-boogedy-boogedy-boo Teddy boy boogie, a-boogedy-boogedy-boo Ah-aah-aah-ahh, ah-ooh-ooh-ooh Teddy boy boogie-boogie, boogedy-boogedy-boo
Well, i'm a teddy boy 'cause that's the life i choose I wear a drape jacket and blue suede shoes I smoke a big cigar and i dig the local hop Saturday night i see my baby dancin' to the bop
One night i was out on a chicken run Gettin' my kicks and havin' some fun A cop car came up from behind So i whipped out my razor and i changed his mind
