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
