Went uptown to see my cousin
plays guitar, sounds like a chainsaw buzzin'
in the crowd, i see his mom and dad
i said "hey, hey uncle, man your son is bad"
But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad.
Across the street, a neon sign
all you can eat for a dollar ninety nine
aww, that old stew is the baddest in the land
but one dollar's worth was all that i could stand
But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad.
Back uptown to see marie
nobody home, i opened the door with my key
"i love you, huey" was the note i read
but there's a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed
But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad.
