The Jive Bombers

The Jive Bombers were an American R&B group from New York City. The Jive Bombers consisted of members of two previous vocal groups, Sonny Austin & the Jive Bombers and The Palmer Brothers. They first recorded under the name The Sparrows in 1949 for Coral Records, and changed their name to The Jive Bombers in 1952 to record for Citation Records. Their 1957 Savoy Records single "Bad Boy", co-written by Avon Long and Lil Hardin, was a hit in the U.S., peaking at #7 on the R&B Singles chart and #36 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has since been covered by The Escorts, Mink DeVille, Ringo Starr, Buster Poindexter (a.k.a. David Johansen), Sha Na Na, and others, and was used in the 1990 film Cry-Baby.

I'm just a bad boy,  (boy)
All dressed up in fancy clothes
I'm takin' the trouble
To blow my bubbles away

Bad boy  (boy)
Life is just a bowl of cherries
I'm takin' the trouble
To turn my nights into days

	The hot, blazin' sun (doo-doo, doo-doo) 
Won't hurt my head (doo-doo, doo-doo)
	'cause you'll always find me (doo-doo, doo-doo) 
Right there in the shade (doo-doo, doo-doo)
I can see all the folks (doo-doo, doo-doo)
They're laughin' at me (doo-doo, doo-doo)
	'cause I'm just naturally crazy

Bad boy  (boy)
All dressed up in fancy clothes
I'm takin' the trouble
To blow my bubbles away

The hot, blazin' sun (doo-doo, doo-doo) 
Won't hurt my head (doo-doo, doo-doo)
	'cause you'll always find me (doo-doo, doo-doo) 
Right there in the shade (doo-doo, doo-doo)
I can see all the folks (doo-doo, doo-doo)
They're laughin' at me (doo-doo, doo-doo)
	'cause I'm just naturally lazy

Bad boy  (ahh)
All dressed up in fancy clothes
I'm takin' the trouble
To blow my bubbles away
(BAD BOY!)
