The original mix of Inner Circle’s hit song ‘Bad Boys.’ Used as the theme in the television show Cops and popularized by the Bad Boys series of movies. While the hook may be shouted by ‘bad boys’ everywhere, this song actually supports the police and their war on crack, drugs and crime.
[Intro]
Bad boys
Whatcha want, whatcha want

When Sheriff John Brown come for you?
Tell me, whatcha wanna do? Whatcha gonna do?

Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do?

Bad boys, bad boys

[Verse 1]
When you were eight and you had bad traits
You go to school and learn the golden rule
So why are you acting like a bloody fool?
If you get hot, then you must get cool
[Chorus]
Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

You chuck it on that one, you chuck it on this one
You chuck it on your mother and you chuck it on your father
You chuck it on your brother and you chuck it on your sister
You chuck it on that one and you chuck it on me
[Chorus]
Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys

[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Why did you have to act so mean?
Don't you know you're human being?
Born of a mother with the love of a father
Reflection comes and reflection goes
I know sometimes you want to let go
Hey, hey, hey
I know sometimes you want to let go
[Chorus]
Bad boys, bad boys
A whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys

Bad boys, bad boys
A whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
[Bridge]
You chuck it on that one, you chuck it on this one
You chuck it on your mother and you chuck it on your father
You chuck it on your brother and you chuck it on your sister
You chuck it on that one and you chuck it on me
[Chorus]
Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
Bad boys, bad boys
