[Verse 1]
I'm just a bad boy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-
Oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy
All dressed up in fancy clothes
I'm taking the trouble
To blow my bubbles away

[Chorus]
Bad boy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-
Oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy
Life is just a bowl of cherries
I'm taking the trouble
To turn my night into day

[Verse 2]
The hot blazing sun
Won't hurt my head
Cause you'll always find me
Right there in the shade
I can see all the folks
They're laughing at me
Cause i'm just a naturally, crazy, lazy

[Chorus]
Bad boy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-
Oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy
Life is just a bowl of cherries
I'm taking the trouble
To turn my night into day

[Verse 2]

[Outro]
Bad boy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-
Oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oy
All dressed up in these fancy clothes
And i'm taking the trouble
To blow my bubbles away
Bad boy

Ringo Starr

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
